Brest and Paris Saint-Germain will face each other in Ligue 1 this week. The match will be held at Stade Francis-Le Ble and is scheduled to kick off at 8pm UK time on Friday.

Brest

Brest kicked off their Ligue 1 campaign with a 1-1 draw with Lyon on the road before drawing 1-1 draw with Rennes at home. Michel Der Zakarian’s side are now 11th in the Ligue 1 table with two points from two matches.

The Pirates finished as low as 17th in the Ligue 1 table last season, and there is a very good chance that they will be fighting for survival in the top flight of French football this time around.

Team News:

Jeremy Doku will start for Brest.

Paris Saint-Germain

Paris Saint-Germain are the favourites for the Ligue 1 title this season, and the way manager Mauricio Pochettino’s side have started the campaign show why. PSG got the better of Troyes 2-1 away from home in their opening league game of the season and then won 4-2 against Strasbourg last weekend. 

Lionel Messi joined PSG on a free transfer after leaving Barcelona this summer, and the Argentina international forward could make his debut for the French giants on Friday. It remains to be seen if Messi starts in attack.

Team News:

Messi could start for PSG. Neymar and Kylian Mbappe are also set to start.

Key Factors to Consider

• PSG have scored six goals in 2 Ligue 1 games.
• PSG have conceded three goal in 2 Ligue 1 games.
• Brest have scored two goals in 2 Ligue 1 matches.
• PSG have conceded two goals in 2 Ligue 1 matches.

Conclusion

Brest are unlikely to pose too much of a challenge for PSG, who should win by a big margin, especially if Messi, Neymar and Mbappe all start.
