Brest v PSG
📅
Kick Off: Tuesday 11th February at 17:45
🏆
Competition: UEFA Champions League
📺
Watch Live: TNT Sports 1
There’s an all-French affair in the knockout round of the Champions League, with Brest hosting PSG in a battle between familiar foes.
This match will be played more than 100km from Brest in Guingamp as the home side’s Stade Francis-Le Ble does not come up to European specifications. This might be something of a blessing for Eric Roy’s side as they have lost their last couple at home – including a 5-2 reverse against Les Parisiens less than a fortnight ago.
Indeed, PSG come into this game in ferocious form. Following their one-sided 4-1 win over Monaco at the weekend, head coach of the visitors, Adi Hutter, claimed the capital side are currently the best in Europe. With 12 wins in their last 14, he may just have a case.
⭐ Brest v PSG Best Bet
Ousmane Dembele is in the form of his life. He has scored in 9 of his last 10 matches, hitting the net a scarcely believable 16 goals across these matches. During this run, he has had at least 2 shots on target in 8 of his last 9 matches and in each of the last five.
Included in this run was the trip to Brest just a matter of days ago. In that encounter, he had 5 shots, 4 on target, and scored 3 goals. The winger looks outstanding value at this price.
🟢 Brest v PSG ABC Exclusive Boost
If previous matches between these clubs this season are anything to go by, there should be heaps of action for fans to enjoy in Guingamp. Goals look on the menu, with each of the two clashes this season having yielded a total of 11 strikes, including a 5-2 win over PSG less than a fortnight ago in Brest.
Ousmane Dembele scored a hat-trick on that occasion and the winger is arguably the form player in world football right now. He has 16 goals in his last 10 games and has had at least 2 shots on target in 8 of his last 9 matches.
If Brest are going to find a way to stop PSG, they are going to have to adopt a physical approach, and that will mean midfielder Mahdi Camara getting in the faces of the visitors’ creative forces in the middle of the park, Joao Neves and Desire Doue. Camara has committed at least 2 fouls in 5 of his last 8 matches, meaning that he looks excellent value to commit at least a couple of fouls in this clash.
👕 Brest v PSG Predicted XI
🔍 Brest v PSG Players to Watch
🔴 Ludovic Ajorque
Ajorque will be the focal point for Brest in this match. They will seek to get the ball to him early and it will be his job to battle with his marker to hold up the ball. This will be no-holds-barred for the centre-forward, who has committed 37 fouls in Ligue 1 this season – the second-highest figure in the whole league.
He gave away a couple of fouls against Nantes on Friday – the 11th time he has done this in his last 14 starts across all competitions.
🔴 Madhi Camara
Camara looks strong value to commit at least 1 foul in this game given that across his last 8 starts he has given away at least a couple of free-kicks on 5 occasions. During this run, he has also committed 1 foul in the clash against PSG – a match he only played 76 minutes in.
In Ligue 1 this season, he has averaged 1.36 fouls per 90 and with 23 fouls conceded, he stands as Brest’s third-most prolific player in this regard.
PSG’s chief foul winners domestically, Joao Neves (26) and Desire Doue (24), could both play in central midfield.
🔵 Achraf Hakimi
With 20 shots in the Champions League, only Ousmane Dembele has mustered more than the flying right-back for PSG this season. He has averaged 2.56 shots per 90 minutes.
He did not play a minute against Monaco at the weekend, and having featured for only 45 in Le Mans last week in the Coupe de France, the Moroccan will expect to have a big role to play in this match.

💻 Brest v PSG Form and Tactics
Brest initially found it difficult to juggle domestic and European commitments this season after surprisingly making the Champions League. With 10 wins from their last 15 games across all competitions, they have now successfully adapted.
Unsurprisingly, Eric Roy’s side have found the going difficult against the most experienced European clubs. Barcelona and Real Madrid both swept them away 3-0 in the group stage while they were naïve in a 1-0 loss to Shakhtar on the road in January.
Guingamp has been a happy hunting ground for them, though. They won against Sturm Graz and PSV here while they also achieved a very creditable draw with Bayer Leverkusen.
Their style is clear: they love to play direct. With 1657 long passes attempted domestically, no Ligue 1 team is as direct. This makes striker Ludovic Ajorque a key figure. With 9 league goals this season, he is a player who thrives in aerial duels.
The centre-forward was involved in a match-high 4 of these situations when these teams last met (winning 3). Overall this season, he has won 82 aerials in Ligue 1 this season – 13 more than any other player. His strength in the air will surely be something Brest seek to exploit.

PSG, meanwhile, are flying presently after winning 12 of 14 in 90 minutes. Any early season inconsistency has been forgotten, with Luis Enrique’s rotation policy now paying dividends as his side are both fresh and fit. Warren Zaire-Emery is the only significant injury concern heading into this game.
“This is the best version of PSG I’ve seen. They’re a serious candidate to win the Champions League and they’re maybe the best team in Europe at the moment,” Monaco boss Adi Hutter said on Friday having seen his team – also playing at this stage of the competition – bested 4-1 at Parc des Princes.
This is now a wonderfully balanced squad that is being driven forward by the in-form Ousmane Dembele, who has scored 16 times in his last 10 games. The winger is notorious for being streaky, but he has never before been this strong.
Earlier this season, it was half-joked that Achraf Hakimi, the right-back, was PSG’s best attacking player. He remains one to watch having produced 1 goal and 3 assists in 4 European games. The Moroccan’s attacking menace is underlined by the fact he has 20 shots in the Champions League this season, with only Dembele mustering more among PSG players.
PSG’s real strength currently, though, is that the threat comes from everywhere, with the addition of winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia from Napoli in January adding another string to their offensive bow.
