Under the management of former Sunderland player Eric Roy, Stade Brest have been perennial overachievers in Ligue 1 but performances have slightly regressed since they become a little more chaotic.
Their chaos has produced 28 goals in their eight matches so far this season. The home team come into this one on the back of a thrilling 3-3 draw against Lorient last week in a game in which they did lead 2-1 and then 3-2.

PSG have managed just one win in their last four matches in Ligue 1 after back-to-back draws either side of the October international break against Lille and then Strasbourg a couple of weeks ago.

Brest vs Paris Saint-Germain prediction
Stade Brest have been brilliant to watch for the last 18 months or so and Eric Roy’s side will also be expected to be an entertaining watch this weekend due to a lack of defensive capability. PSG will head to Brest as the firm favourites but they are lacking fluency and cohesion at the moment. The Parisians should come out on top in what should be yet another high-scoring and entertaining game.
