Brest vs PSG Prediction

Eric Roy’s Stade Brest come into this one on the back of a 3-0 defeat against Real Madrid in midweek due to a Rodrygo brace as well as a Jude Bellingham strike. The hosts have finished their UEFA Champions League league phase with three defeats in their last four matches but finished in the top 24. Their Ligue 1 form has gone in the other direction, though, with their 1-0 defeat of struggling Le Havre at Stade Oceane last weekend means they have won four of their last five matches. Paris Saint-Germain begin this match day sitting ten points clear of Olympique de Marseille with 14 victories and five draws in their 19 Ligue 1 games. Luis Enrique’s Parisiens have also secured a top 24 finish in the UEFA Champions League with a 4-1 hammering of Stuttgart in midweek backing up their come from behind 4-2 win over Manchester City last week. Brest will be a stern test for PSG, although the visitors remain favourites as they seek to runaway with another French title.
