PSG will be hoping to open up a bigger advantage at the top of the Ligue 1 standings this weekend when they welcome Brest to the French capital. However, the hosts will likely not be fazed by this challenge, as they have won their last four.
Ligue 1 Preview
Two of the top three in the French standings will collide this weekend, as Brest make the journey to Paris. However, all the pressure will be on the home side, as they bid to open up an eleven-point advantage at the top of the table. PSG come into the weekend in excellent recent form in the league after claiming victories in four of their last five.
Their most recent league win was picked up on January 14, as they landed a straightforward 2-0 success on the road against Lens. Bradley Barcola opened the scoring inside the opening half an hour of that match, before Kylian Mbappe extended the advantage in the closing minutes. The victory extended PSG’s excellent record on the road, as they have now gone 16 without loss on their travels. That is their longest unbeaten sequence since going 17 without loss between February 2018 and January 2019.
Brest will be massive outsiders in the betting for this fixture on Sunday, but they will be full of confidence after enjoying an excellent run of results. The visitors have won each of their last four matches, which has lifted them up to third in the standings. A shock win on the road this weekend could see them end the round in second.
Brest were very professional in their most recent league outing, as they landed a 2-0 home win against Montpellier. They dominated that fixture, and registered a staggering 26 shots. However, their only goals in the win were netted by Hugo Magnetti and Jeremy Le Douaron.
PSG vs Brest Head to Head
The head-to-head record makes for damning reading for Brest, as they are winless in their last 16 matches against the Parisians. Over that period, PSG have recorded 15 victories, and they have averaged 2.5 goals per game.
PSG vs Brest Prediction
Brest come into this weekend in excellent recent form, but PSG’s dominant recent advantage over their rivals is hard to ignore. Therefore, we fully expect the home team to extend their lead at the top of the standings by claiming maximum points.
