Raphinha has been a revelation for Barcelona this season, showcasing his importance with 13 goal involvements so far. The Brazilian averages an impressive 3.39 shots per game, accumulating 32 attempts in his last 10 matches.

Over the weekend, he fired five shots in the 2-2 draw against Celta Vigo, highlighting his attacking intent. With at least three shots in 8 of his last 10 games, Raphinha is consistently finding opportunities to test the goalkeeper.

Facing a Brest side that struggles defensively and is without a clean sheet in their last 7 matches, he is well-placed to not only continue this trend but exceed it. His role as a creative and direct attacking force for Barcelona ensures he will see plenty of chances to register shots, whether cutting inside from the wing or driving towards the goal we’re backing him to have at least 4 shots against Brest.

Lewandowski’s form for Barcelona has been nothing short of extraordinary. The Polish striker has tallied 14 goals in just 13 starts this season, cementing his status as one of the most lethal finishers in football.

Over his last nine matches, Lewandowski has scored 11 times, finding the net in seven of these games. His consistent positioning, elite movement, and clinical finishing make him a nightmare for defenders, particularly for a Brest backline that has struggled to keep clean sheets.

With Barcelona expected to dominate possession and create numerous chances, Lewandowski is a strong contender to get on the scoresheet once again and is worth backing here.

Brest forward Ludovic Ajorque has been a frequent offender when it comes to fouling this season. The towering striker has committed 17 fouls across 8.8 full 90-minute appearances, averaging nearly two fouls per match. In his last eight games alone, he has committed 16 fouls, with six of those outings featuring multiple infractions.

Ajorque’s physical style of play often sees him clash with defenders, particularly when attempting to hold up the ball or contest aerial duels. Against a Barcelona side likely to dominate possession, Ajorque will spend much of the match chasing and pressing, further increasing the likelihood of fouls.

Barcelona’s games this season have been goal-fests, with 76 goals scored in 18 matches – an average of 4.22 goals per game. Over 2.5 goals have landed in 16 of these fixtures, reflecting their high-scoring nature.

Meanwhile, Brest’s recent form has also seen goals aplenty, with 4 of their last 5 matches producing at least three goals. These games have seen a total of 16 goals, underscoring their defensive vulnerabilities.

Given Barcelona’s attacking firepower and Brest’s struggles at the back, it’s hard to envision a low-scoring affair. A match featuring at least three goals seems almost inevitable.

Lewandowski has been unstoppable for Barcelona, delivering 14 goals in his last 13 starts. The Polish striker thrives on goals, taking 64 shots this season at an astonishing rate of one every 26 minutes. In his last 12 starts, he’s recorded 40 attempts, with eight of those matches featuring four or more shots from the legendary striker.

His positioning and ability to create space make him a constant threat, especially against weaker defensive setups like Brest’s. With Barcelona expected to dominate possession and create numerous chances, Lewandowski’s prolific form suggests he will once again be heavily involved, surpassing the four-shot mark in this clash.

Young Barcelona defender Pau Cubarsí has shown immense potential but remains prone to committing fouls. With 11 fouls in just over 11 matches this season, no Barcelona player has been penalised more frequently.

Facing Brest’s counter-attacking style, Cubarsí will likely find himself in situations where tactical fouls are necessary. He has committed seven fouls in his last six matches, including at least one in five of these games.

His aggressive approach, combined with Brest’s attempts to exploit transitions, makes him a strong candidate to commit at least one foul during this fixture.

Barcelona’s dominance this season is evident, with 14 wins in 18 matches across all competitions. They’ve scored 31 goals in their last nine matches, winning seven of these by at least two goals.

Their attack, led by Lewandowski, Raphinha and Yamal, averages 3.44 goals during this period. Brest, meanwhile, are without a clean sheet in their last seven games, highlighting their defensive frailties.

Despite Brest’s surprising Champions League position, they’ve faced weaker opposition and will struggle against a Barcelona side firing on all cylinders. Backing Barcelona to win by at least two goals feels like a safe bet given the gulf in quality.

Raphinha has elevated his game to new heights this season, becoming a linchpin in Barcelona’s attacking setup. In his last six games, he has been directly involved in 10 goals – scoring seven times and providing three assists. The Brazilian has scored in five of these matches, demonstrating his knack for finding the back of the net.

Additionally, his creative playmaking ensures he is a constant threat, whether driving at defenders or delivering key passes. Against a Brest side struggling defensively, Raphinha is well-positioned to continue his red-hot form. His ability to take numerous shots makes him a prime candidate to find the back of the net in this fixture.
