This Brest vs PSG preview showcases a Ligue 1 action this Saturday afternoon as Stade Brestois 29 welcomes the reigning champions, Paris Saint-Germain, to the Stade Francis-Le Blé. Brest comes into this fixture on a four-match unbeaten run in the league (W2, D2), having rescued a point in a thrilling 3-3 draw away at Lorient last weekend. Eric Roy’s side currently sits 12th in the table and will look to continue their solid home form against the Parisian giants.
PSG, meanwhile, arrives in Brittany brimming with confidence after a stunning 7-2 demolition of Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League midweek. Despite a couple of recent draws in Ligue 1, Luis Enrique’s men remain top of the table and possess an overwhelmingly dominant head-to-head record against Brest. This Brest vs PSG betting preview examines whether the home side can spring a surprise or if the champions will continue their march.

Key Stats
- PSG’s H2H Stranglehold: Paris Saint-Germain is unbeaten in their last 32 encounters with Brest across all competitions, a run stretching back to 1985. They have won 20 of the last 22 meetings.
- Goals Galore (Usually): PSG has scored 3+ goals in 22 Ligue 1 matches since the start of last season, the most in the division. The last three league meetings between these two sides have seen 5, 4, and 3 goals respectively.
- Brest’s Improving Home Form: Brest is unbeaten in their last two home games, conceding just one goal in that period (4-1 win vs. Nice, 0-0 draw vs. Nantes).
Correct Score Prediction
Correct Score: Brest 1-3 PSG
I am predicting a 1-3 victory for Paris Saint-Germain. While Brest is on a decent run of form and has tightened up defensively at home recently, the gulf in quality is simply too vast. PSG’s midweek demolition of Leverkusen showcased their frightening attacking potential, and even with potential rotation, their squad depth is immense.
Brest has managed to score against PSG in three of their last four meetings, and players like Romain Del Castillo and Kamory Doumbia carry a threat. Given PSG’s occasional defensive lapses and Brest’s recent scoring touch (9 goals in their last four league games), I expect the home side to find the net. However, PSG’s firepower, likely featuring Gonçalo Ramos, Bradley Barcola, and potentially returning stars like Ousmane Dembélé, should prove far too strong. A comfortable away win seems the most probable outcome, and you can explore this scoreline on Betano.

Team News Home (Brest)
Brest has relatively few injury concerns. Forward Mama Baldé is expected to miss out again with a thigh strain. Full-back Kenny Lala had to be substituted against Lorient due to injury and is a doubt for this clash. Eric Roy otherwise has a full squad to choose from, with Romain Del Castillo and Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe providing the attacking threat.
Team News Away (PSG)
Luis Enrique has a couple of midfield absentees. João Neves (hamstring) and Fabián Ruiz (hip) are likely to remain sidelined. However, the Parisians received a major boost midweek as Ousmane Dembélé and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia returned from injury, both getting on the scoresheet against Leverkusen. Expect some rotation after the European fixture, potentially giving starts to Gonçalo Ramos and Kang-In Lee.
Predicted Lineups
Brest Predicted XI (4-2-3-1):
Majecki; Lala, Chardonnet, Coulibaly, Locko; Chotard, Magnetti; Del Castillo, Doumbia, Ebimbe; Ajorque
PSG Predicted XI (4-3-3):
Chevalier; Hakimi, Zabarnyi, Pacho, Mendes; Mayulu, Zaire-Emery, Vitinha; Lee, Ramos, Barcola
