Match Preview for Brest v PSG
PSG travel to the Stade Francis-Le Ble on Saturday looking to reignite their domestic form after a mixed run in Ligue 1.
The champions have won only once in their last three league outings, while hosts Brest are quietly building momentum after going four games unbeaten.
Eric Roy’s side showed resilience in last weekend’s 3-3 draw with Lorient, though a late equaliser denied them all three points.
Still, Brest have picked up points in four straight Ligue 1 matches and can equal their longest unbeaten run of last season with a positive result here.
PSG, meanwhile, have been inconsistent on the road but reminded everyone of their attacking potential in midweek – a 7-2 demolition of Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League.
Luis Enrique’s men sit a point behind Marseille in the table and will be desperate to avoid a third consecutive away slip domestically.
It’s been more than 40 years since Brest last beat PSG, and the Parisians have won each of the last five meetings between the two sides.
Team news for Brest v Paris Saint-Germain
Brest have a near-clean bill of health, with Mama Balde still sidelined due to a thigh injury. Eric Ebimbe was on target in last weekend’s draw, while Romain Del Castillo and a Jean-Victor Makengo own goal gave Brest two separate leads they couldn’t hold.
For PSG, Joao Neves (hamstring) and Fabian Ruiz (hip) are likely to remain unavailable. On the positive side, Ousmane Dembele and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia returned from injury in midweek and both scored in the Leverkusen win.
