Is PSG setting the course for the round of 16?
French showdown in the Champions League playoffs 2024/25! With Stade Brest and PSG, two Ligue 1 clubs will face each other in the last 32 of the Champions League. The guests are already the clear favorites in the first leg. Just under two weeks ago, Paris Saint-Germain won in the Ligue 1 against their upcoming opponents. Our Brest vs. PSG tip is also aimed at “Les Parisiens” this time.
PSG has won its last four competitive games. Last weekend, there was also a clear victory to celebrate in the league clash against AS Monaco. Luis Enrique’s team beat the Monegasques 4-1 and thus warmed up for the upcoming hurdle in the premier class.
Stade Brest also picked up a win in their final warm-up match ahead of their upcoming tie against PSG. The Pirates came out on top 2-0 against FC Nantes on foreign soil, celebrating their second consecutive win since their last defeat against PSG. Nevertheless, Stade Brest is the clear underdog in its home game against Paris Saint-Germain.
Brest – Statistics & current form
Stade Brest caused a stir in the inaugural Champions League season by qualifying for the knockout phase of the competition. The red-and-whites won four of a total of eight group matches in the league phase, and also picked up a point after drawing one game. With 13 points from eight league games, they are now heading into the playoffs.
Stade Brest have landed a tough draw in PSG and are the clear underdogs, as expected. It was only about two weeks ago that the team of successful coach Éric Roy lost to the capital city club in the Ligue 1. Despite home advantage, Stade Brest suffered a bitter defeat (2-5) against Paris Saint-Germain.
This was the 18th consecutive game in which Stade Brest remained winless against PSG. The Pirates have even lost 17 of these 18 matches, which is why the assessment of the betting providers without tax is also understandable. For a Brest vs. PSG tip on the hosts from Brittany, betting odds beyond the 7.00 mark are currently available.
Surprise Brest in front of their home crowd?
The red and whites have lost their last two home games. Before the mini-crisis, Stade Brest won five home games in a row. It therefore remains to be seen how Éric Roy’s team will perform in the upcoming match against PSG. Internationally, Brest have only lost the home game against Real Madrid this season (0-3).
In Ligue 1, on the other hand, Stade Brest have a record of 6-1-3 from ten home games and have scored 21 goals in that period. Éric Roy’s team have thus scored more than two goals per home game. It is quite possible that they will continue this trend in the upcoming match against PSG.
The last time the two clubs met, the Red & Whites already scored two goals against Paris SG. In return, however, there were also five goals in the Pirates’ goal. Éric Roy has to do without at least two players in the squad due to injury. No major changes are expected compared to the starting lineup that last played in Ligue 1.
Provisional line-up of Brest:
PSG – Statistics & current form
Paris Saint-Germain had to fear for their place in the play-offs until the last matchday in the Champions League. Luis Enrique’s team could only breathe a sigh of relief with the victory at VfB Stuttgart and climbed to 15th place in the table. In the knockout phase, the international adventure will now continue against Stade Brest.
PSG have landed themselves a manageable opponent and are clear favourites in the first leg. Paris have won 17 of their last 18 competitive matches against Stade Brest. If you want to place a bet on the capital city side beating PSG, you can use the Bet-at-home betting bonus. The bookmaker offers a wide range of bets for the Champions League games.
Luis Enrique’s team have won seven of their last nine competitive matches away from home, with a record of 7-2-0. PSG also picked up one of those seven victories at Stade Brest in Ligue 1.
Next offensive spectacle from PSG?
Considering how strong PSG were against AS Monaco last weekend, it seems obvious to bet on another offensive spectacle from Enrique’s team. The Ligue 1 leaders scored four goals against Monaco in their last game. It was the third game in the last four competitive matches in which PSG scored four or more goals.
The performance is now to be underpinned against Stade Brest. In the Champions League this season, PSG “only” managed a record of 4-1-3. Luis Enrique’s team conceded two of those three defeats on foreign soil against teams like Bayern and Arsenal. They even failed to score. Since then, PSG have won two consecutive away games in international competition, scoring seven goals.
Luis Enrique will have just the one key player missing for the first leg, Zaire-Emery, through injury. The Parisians have no other personnel concerns at the moment. Ousmane Dembélé has been the top scorer in the current competition with four goals and one assist and is therefore also a possible scorer against Stade Brest.
Provisional line-up of PSG:
Brest – PSG Head-to-head
This will be the 41st time the two clubs have met. PSG lead the direct comparison against Stade Brest with a record of 25-12-3. In the last 18 competitive matches, Paris Saint-Germain have recorded a record of 17-1-0, giving them plenty of confidence ahead of this game.
The two clubs have already met twice this season. PSG won both matches and scored eight goals.
Brest – PSG Tip
Paris Saint-Germain is in great shape going into the upcoming match against Stade Brest. The red-and-blue team has won each of the last four competitive matches, showing their strength in offense. After all, a total of 15 goals were scored in these four encounters. Five of those 15 goals were scored by PSG in the league duel against Stade Brest.
A clear result cannot be ruled out at the international level either. It would be PSG’s 18th victory in their last 19 competitive matches against Stade Brest. However, the red and whites are counting on home advantage and will not hide against the favored capital city club in the French showdown. Brest have only lost a single home game in the competition so far.
Nevertheless, we see the guests as the clear favorites and place our Stade Brest vs. PSG tip at odds of 2.00 for “HT/FT: 2/2”. We are betting five units on PSG in our half-time/final bet forecast. Betano offers the best odds on the betting market for this.
