Overview
Brest has been in the top 8 League phase phase of the Champions League this season. However, two consecutive losses against Shakhtar Donetsk and Real Madrid made them have to enter the life-off series. Lucky leaves bring Brest to face PSG and this is definitely not what they want.
PSG has been a formidable force of France for many years. Although there is no good performance in the Champions League this season, PSG is still dominating Ligue 1 with 10 points more than the second team.
Ousmane Dembele is one of the highest -shaped players in Europe today. The PSG striker has scored 13 goals in the last 8 appearances and is expected to shine before Brest.
Meanwhile, Brest's Ludovic Ajorque has scored in the last 5 matches in Ligue 1, including a goal against PSG. The 30 -year -old striker can once again repeat this.
In 2 confrontations with Brest in Ligue 1 this year, PSG has won. Among them, it included a 5-2 destruction victory on the opponent's field not long ago.
Overall, Brest is difficult to stop PSG at this time, even if they are holding the advantage of playing at home Stade Du Rudeourou. Brest will try not to lose before the second leg, but it is likely that PSG will still repeat the record as the last 2 confrontations.
Human resource situation
Midfielder Mahdi Camara is expected to return to Brest's squad after being suspended in the match against Nantes. However, the defense trio Bradley Locko, Jordan Amavi and Massadio Hainara will likely be absent from injury.
