Match Preview
Brest has been a surprise package this season, managing to secure a spot in the Champions League playoffs. Along the way, they pulled off impressive results, including a victory over PSV and a draw against Bayer Leverkusen, collecting 13 points across eight matches. They finished 18th in the overall rankings. However, their recent Champions League form has been poor, losing their last two group-stage matches. Just a few days ago, they suffered a heavy 2-5 defeat to PSG. That said, Brest has won its last two domestic matches, scoring twice in each.
PSG had a shaky start in the Champions League and at one point was outside the playoff spots. However, since the start of the new year, they have found top form, securing statement victories such as 4-2 against Manchester City and 4-1 against Stuttgart. They ultimately finished 15th in the rankings, setting up this playoff clash with Brest, whom they recently dismantled 5-2. PSG is currently on a 16-match unbeaten streak and comes off a commanding 4-1 victory over Monaco.
Probable Lineups
- Brest: Bizot; Lala, Chardonnet, Koulibaly, Haidara; Camara, Lees-Melou, Magnetti; Faivre, Ajorque, Baldé.
- PSG: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Ruiz, Vitinha, Lee; Barcola, Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia.
Prediction
PSG is in outstanding form and recently dismantled Brest in dominant fashion. The hosts will be highly motivated, but the Parisians also have plenty at stake in this fixture.
My betting pick: PSG to score over 2 goals (individual total) at odds of 1.61.
