With Raon-l'Étape in rather poor form in their own division, we doubt they'll be able to pull a fast one on last year's Ligue 1 runners-up. Lille have been solid recently with their defence largely impressive bar a few high-profile catastrophes. However, with the hosts scoring in each of their last 21 games, we're backing Raon-l'Étape to get on the scoresheet here as the away side should still be hurting from their 5-1 defeat in Monaco. Lille have kept clean sheets in just two of their 13 matches on the road this season so we doubt this one will be a whitewash. Nevertheless, the top tier side should be able to get past the fifth tier minnows here so we're backing them to win 3-1.

Everyone wants to play in the European championship but for me the important thing is to save Brescia.
