PSG are in fine form and are performing well in Ligue 1 as well as in the Champions League. They comfortably won the first leg by trashing the home team by 0-3. They do have a great record against Brest and they showed once again why they are the better side.

Key Players to Watch in Paris Saint Germain vs Brest

Ousmane Dembele (Paris Saint Germain)

The Frenchman has been in fine form in the last few games and he has been the best player for PSG this season. He is making a difference on the pitch for them not only in Ligue 1 but also in the UCL. Enrique also played a key role in his performance and Dembele has stayed fit this season and is not getting injured like he used to a few seasons ago. His performance in the upcoming matches is crucial for the team to progress into the next rounds in the Champions League.

In 20 games he has scored 16 goals and has provided four assists, in seven Champions League games he has scored six goals and provided one assist. In the last five games, he has taken 19 shots out of which 11 were on target, made five interceptions and generated 4.6xG in those games.

Romain Faivre (Brest)

Faivre is a versatile player who can play in any attacking position on the pitch. He can be described as a player who receives the ball in relatively less threatening positions and brings it into more threatening ones, primarily via his carrying ability which he uses quite often. The Frenchman can drive his team forward singlehandedly and can break even the strongest defence. With his nimble footwork, he can beat defenders and create chances for himself and his teammates.

In 16 games, he has scored two goals and provided two assists. In the last five games, he took four shots out of which three were on target, and made five interceptions and five blocks as well, in those games, he generated 0.3xG.

Paris Saint Germain vs Brest Prediction

The team from Paris are clear favourites to win this fixture as they have a three-goal lead and now when they play at home they already will have a huge advantage. Playing at Parc des Prince is not an easy take for the away team and surely Brest knows it very well. The away team’s record against PSG is also very poor and most probably the home team will comfortably win this second leg as well.
