PSG vs Brest: Prediction, Preview & Betting Tips

With Paris Saint-Germain facing familiar opposition in Stade Brestois 29, we expect this to be a formality with the home side already leading from the first leg.

PSG will undoubtedly be the favourites as they are in tremendous form, with six consecutive victories and no losses in their last 18 in all competitions. PSG have recorded notable victories against the likes of Manchester City (4-2), AS Monaco (4-1) and the first-leg victory over Reims (0-3).

Stade Brestois 29 have lost the last four meetings between the two teams and have failed to keep a clean sheet in the last 20 fixtures against PSG. The visitors have lost their last two European matches away from home against Shakhtar Donetsk (2-0) and Barcelona (3-0).

We expect PSG to inflict further damage on their league counterparts and could further the aggregate scoreline even more than the first leg.

We are going for a 4-0 win for PSG.

PSG 4-0 Brest.
