THE LOWDOWN
BREST
Stade Brestois 29 face the difficult task of returning to winning ways following last weekend's narrow 1-0 defeat away to Lille.
A surprise package in this season's Ligue 1, Brest sit fifth in the standings heading into the weekend thanks to their low yet efficient scoring games and tidy defence, although they have been unable to pick up three-points since September 23.
A win could put Éric Roy’s side level on points with France’s capital club, however, the head-to-head record does not favour the home side, with no wins in 15 in this tie.
PSG
Luis Enrique’s side return to league action after an impressive 3-0 victory over AC Milan on Wednesday night. Man of the moment Warren Zaïre-Emery has become the name on everyone's lips. The 17-year-old France U21 captain registered a third assist, becoming the youngest ever to do so in the Champions League.
The Ligue 1 champions are third in the table, which by their standards is a disappointing start to the campaign. A game in hand and only a two-point gap behind leaders Monaco should be all the motivation the Parisians need to take the lead the in the title-race for the first time this season, at least until Monaco play later in the day.
THE TEAM NEWS
BREST
Roy has been blessed with no injury concerns to his side, giving him a full strength squad to choose from.
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Bizot; Lala, Chardonnet, Brassier, Locko; Magnetti, Martin; Del Castillo, Lees-Melou, Le Douaron; Satriano
UNAVAILABLE:
QUESTIONABLE:
PSG
In the opposite dugout, Enrique will be facing limited availability in his team selection. Presnel Kimpembe, Marco Asensio, Sergio Rico and Nuno Mendes are all sidelined for the weekend’s fixture.
PSG will be boosted by Zaïre-Emery’s return to domestic competition after missing his side’s 3-0 win over Strasbourg last Sunday.
PREDICTED XI (4-3-3-): Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Skriniar, Hernadez; Ugarte, Vitinha, Zaïre-Emery; Dembélé, Ramos, Mbappé
UNAVAILABLE: Presnel Kimpembe (Injured), Marco Asensio (Injured), Sergio Rico (Injured), Nuno Mendes (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE:
THE PREDICTION
Head-to-head results suggests a comfortable three points are on offer for PSG, as they remain undefeated in this fixture. You’d have to go back 12 years for the last time the away side dropped points, in a 1-1 draw. Brest’s defence look to be facing this season's most difficult task in shutting Mbappe and Co. out.
