Paris Saint-Germain vs Brest Preview

Paris Saint-Germain

After two pre-season draws, Paris Saint-Germain secured three wins with a 13-2 aggregate scoreline, showcasing their ability to create chances and score goals even without Kylian Mbappé, who moved to Real Madrid.

PSG have the unique flexibility of a 4-3-3 formation, which can shift into a 4-4-2 when Marco Asensio moves into central midfield to overload the opposition alongside the three central midfielders. 

Alternatively, PSG can morph into a more attacking 3-4-3 / 2-3-5 formation, with Achraf Hakimi moving up to join the forward line, complementing Ousmane Dembélé and the rest of the attack.

This frequent alteration between formations has made PSG unpredictable and efficient. Particularly noteworthy was their match against Lille, where Luis Enrique’s team packed the center with their players, creating isolation for the wing forwards. Bradley Barcola and Ousmane Dembélé consistently generated dangerous chances in the final third.

One of the most significant changes under Luis Enrique is that the team no longer has to depend mainly on Mbappé. Now, much of the attacking play flows through Ousmane Dembélé on the right, adding an extra layer of unpredictability.

Regardless, it’s challenging to envision who can challenge Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1. The reigning French champions boast an incredibly potent attacking force.

However, it’s important to note that PSG faced significant defensive challenges on the left flank due to the absence of injured Nuno Mendes, Lucas Hernández, and Presnel Kimpembe. 

Willian Pacho and Lucas Beraldo, who have filled in, were notable weaker links in the defensive line, allowing Lille to create several dangerous chances through their zones.

Brest

After an extremely successful previous season, Brest have only managed to secure one victory in six summer preseason matches and lost the first two Ligue 1 matches with an overall score of 1-7.

The primary issue in the matches against Marseille and Lens was their disorganized defensive play, both in the transition from attack to defense and in low-block positional defense. Brest’s players often acted chaotically and struggled during opponents’ fast flank attacks. 

However, Brest showed some defensive improvement in their third game, which was against Saint-Étienne, a team currently considered one of the league’s underdogs. In this match, Brest managed to play with more discipline at the back, preventing major threats to their goal.

At the same time, in all three matches, Brest attacked with high intensity with a large group of players and created numerous scoring opportunities, many of which were not converted into goals.

However, their conversion rate improved in the game against Saint-Étienne, in which Eric Roy’s team scored four goals.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Brest Prediction

• Pick: Paris Saint-Germain to win
• Odds: 1.26 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 Brest

PSG has won 16 out of 18 matches against Brest and only drawn twice. In the last season at Parc des Princes, Brest managed to come back from a 0-2 deficit in the second half by effectively capitalizing on their opportunities against a PSG that lost concentration.

However, it’s difficult to expect a repeat of such a result, which seems far-fetched given that Paris Saint-Germain is in fantastic physical condition and ready to score as many goals as they want against the opponent.

Considering the numerous defensive errors in Brest’s play, it is quite possible that Luis Enrique’s team will be able to score several goals both through rapid vertical attacks and through positional play.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Brest Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Brest Total Over 0.5
• Odds: 1.69 (22Bet)

In their last four matches, Brest has scored at least one goal against PSG and could repeat this achievement in their upcoming match. Paris Saint-Germain is facing problems on the left flank due to a large number of injured players, and the Parisian club does not always manage to defend compactly.

Brest is likely to lose, but they are capable of scoring at least one goal.
