Brest vs PSG Preview

• Competition: UEFA Champions League.
• Date: Tuesday, February 11.
• Time: 5:45 PM GMT.
• Venue: Stade du Roudourou.

Brest vs PSG will face off in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League playoff round fixture at the Stade du Roudourou in the early kick-off slot on February 11.

The hosts will enter this game on the back of a mixed run of form. They have won three of their last five matches across competitions and lost the other two. While the wins were against lesser teams like Le Havre, Troyes and Nantes, the two defeats came against PSG and Real Madrid. In this run, Brest scored seven goals and conceded nine goals, and need to be defensively solid. Their 2-0 win in their last outing will give them some confidence for the next one.

PSG, on the other hand, have not lost since their defeat to Bayern on November 27. They have won four and drawn one of their last five games across competitions and are in great form currently. They sit comfortable atop Ligue 1 and seem to have found a great goal scoring rhythm. PSG have scored 16 goals in their last five games and conceded just five. They defeated rivals AS Monaco 4-1 last time around and will have a spring in their step for the next one.

On that note, here is the team news from Brest vs PSG.

Brest Team News

Manager Eric Roy fielded a strong lineup in his team’s last match as they secured a 2-0 win against Nantes. Most players barring some put in great performances and the manager used three substitutes as well. However, there were no new injuries or suspensions.

They will be without four players for the next game. Bradley Locko (achilles tendon), Jonas Martin (muscle), Jordan Amavi (hamstring) and Romain Del Castillo (knee) will miss out as they continue to recover.

PSG Team News

Head-to-Head Record

These two teams have met very often in recent times, with fixtures between them producing thrilling and high-scoring contests. However, the head-to-head favours one team heavily in recent times. PSG have won four of their last five meetings against Brest, and there has been one draw.

Key Players to Watch

Ludovic Ajorque (Brest)

Ajorque has been his team’s leading marksman this season and his teammates will look towards him to produce something in the next game. He has scored a goal in each of his last five games, and they have come from eight shots on target. Being the target man, he will get at least a couple of chance and will look to bury them against PSG.

Ousmane Dembele (PSG)

The Frenchman has been in stunning form in recent times, mainly since Enrique has deployed him through the middle as a striker. He has scored 10 goals in his last five matches, coming from 15 shots on target. He has also completed 11 take-ons and will look to continue in this rich vein of form.

Brest vs PSG Prediction

Going by recent head-to-head as well as their respective form guides, there is one clear favourite to win this game and the two-legged tie as well. PSG are much stronger and seem to be unstoppable right now and should win with ease.

Predicted Score: Brest 1-4 PSG
