Brest vs Paris Saint-Germain Prediction 29.10.2023

• Competition: France &— Ligue 1
• Date: Sunday, 29th, October 2023
• Kickoff: 12:00 UK / 13.00 CEST
• Venue: Stade Francis-Le Ble (Brest)

Eager to extend their winning streak across all competitions to four matches, the current French champions, Paris Saint-Germain, pay a visit to Ligue 1 surprise package Brest at the Stade Francis-Le Ble on Sunday.

Despite beginning the 2023-24 Ligue 1 campaign with the primary goal of survival, Stade Brestois has left everyone in shock, completely defying expectations with their outstanding performance. The Breton club’s strong start saw them leading the pack for a few days, leaving the other 19 teams to follow in their footsteps. Yet, it appears that their formidable season kick-off is starting to lose its sheen, as they’ve collected a mere two points in their last trio of matches in the top tier (D2, L1). This has led to a decline in their league position, currently sitting in fifth with a total of 15 points, just three points adrift of the final spot offering direct entry into the Champions League group stage.

Right there, in third place on the Ligue 1 table, is located the current champion, PSG. The mighty Parisian club, though they have the most potent roster in the French top-flight on paper, has experienced a rather atypical sluggish kickoff to the 2023-24 campaign, an unsurprising outcome following their complete overhaul of the squad in the summer. Fortunately, the new acquisitions have quickly adapted to the club’s environment and are already demonstrating their serious candidacy for the Ligue 1 title this season, with the capital club embarking on Sunday’s outing with 18 points to their name from 10 rounds, trailing the leader, Monaco, by just two points.

Brest vs Paris Saint-Germain Betting Tips: PSG to Win

There is no denying that locking horns with the mightiest team in Ligue 1 is ill-timed for Stade Brestois, who head into the 11th Matchday on a three-match winless streak. After two back-to-back draws against Nice (0-0) and Toulouse (1-1), they experienced a bitter loss, falling 0-1 during their trip to Lille last weekend. What’s causing additional concern for coach Eric Roy is his team’s apparent struggle to find the back of the net. Over the last four top-flight matches, they’ve managed just two goals. Even more worrying is the timing of these goals, as they secured a hard-fought 1-0 win against Lyon in the 87th minute and relied on a 90+2-minute goal to avoid defeat in a 1-1 draw with Toulouse.

What we can conclude from the history of their head-to-head meetings is that Stade Brestois has been a regular victim of the Parisians. Not only has PSG never left the field as the losing side in clashes against Brest dating back to 1989, but they’ve emerged victorious in each of the past 13 meetings, boasting an imposing goal difference of 32-5. Furthermore, the form of the Parisians in recent weeks has seen a significant rise, indicating that Les Pirates could be facing possible back-to-back failures for the first time this term.

The response from Luis Enrique’s men, following the tough 1-4 defeat against Newcastle in the UEFA Champions League, has been extraordinary, as they have since secured three straight victories, in each of which they shook the opponent’s net three times &— including a mesmerizing midweek 3-0 triumph over Serie A outfit AC Milan. Riding the waves of their recent strong performances, Kylian Mbappe and his compatriots appear poised to shatter the Ligue 1 sensation Brest and bring them back to reality.
