PSG have made a poor start in Ligue 1 but thrashed their opponents in Europe: Brest vs PSG prediction
The Ligue 1 fourth-round match between Brest and PSG will take place on 13 September at the Stade Francis-Le Blé. The hosts remain unbeaten in the league and have collected five points, while the reigning French champions are surprisingly still without a victory after three rounds.
Brest: their best start in years
Julien Lachuer's side began the league campaign with 2-2 draws against Le Mans and Toulouse before beating Le Havre 2-1. Five points from three matches represents Brest's best start in Ligue 1 since the 2023/24 season.
Kamory Doumbia has been particularly impressive, scoring twice in the previous round and leading the goalscoring charts with four goals. The hosts are also one of six Ligue 1 teams still unbeaten.
PSG: winless in France but six goals in the Champions League
Luis Enrique's side began the season with two 2-2 draws against Rennes and Lille before losing 2-1 to Monaco. PSG have now conceded at least two goals in four consecutive Ligue 1 matches.
The Parisians improved dramatically during the week by thrashing Slovan 6-1 in the Champions League. Ferran Torres scored a hat-trick and Ousmane Dembélé added two goals, so the team head into their trip to Brest in much better attacking spirits.
Match facts and head-to-head record
- Brest remain unbeaten in Ligue 1 after three rounds.
- PSG are yet to win a league match and have conceded two goals in each of their opening three rounds.
- The Parisians have won their last seven meetings with Brest in all competitions.
The champions should finally take all three points: Brest vs PSG prediction
Brest have made a strong start to the season and are capable of causing problems with their positive attacking play, especially given Doumbia's form. However, PSG's current league run contrasts sharply with what the team showed in the Champions League.
After scoring six goals in midweek, the Parisians should approach this match with maximum focus. The visitors' attacking quality and their excellent recent record against Brest point towards a convincing victory.
