Comments and predictions for Brest vs PSG: Overwhelming win

Regular rivals in France's top flight, Paris Saint-Germain and Brest will swap Ligue 1 for the Champions League on Tuesday evening, clashing in the first leg of their play-off tie at Stade Francis-Le Ble.

Both teams took 13 points from the group stage, although PSG's superior goal difference allowed Luis Enrique's side to secure the seeded play-off places in the 36-team group.

Latest Brest vs PSG squad information

Ahead of the win over Monaco, PSG announced that Warren Zaire-Emery and his teammate Ibrahim Mbaye were both being treated for ankle sprains and therefore the fledgling duo are likely to miss the game against Brest.

The French champions have a full medical ahead of the short trip to Stade Francis-Le Ble, where January signing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia will make his UCL debut for his new club at left-back.

The Georgia international will operate in support of the prolific Ousmane Dembele, who scored a hat-trick against Stuttgart before adding a brace in the demolition of Monaco, his 20th and 21st goals this season in all competitions.

In terms of Brest's availability, Bradley Locko (foot) and Karamoko Dembele (muscle) are provisionally ineligible, while midfielder Jonas Martin is also nursing a muscle problem and is unlikely to be selected.

Roy has no fresh concerns to consider for the first leg, however, and PSG's defence can expect to be harassed and hassled by the hosts' towering striker Ajorque.

The 30-year-old created more pressures in the opposition half than any other player during the group stage – a staggering 447 – while his 293 in the attacking third was second only to Erling Haaland's 295.

Latest predicted lineup for Brest vs PSG

Brest:

Bizot; Lala, Chardonnet, Coulibaly, Haidara; Camara, Lees-Melou, Magnetti; Faivre, Ajorque, Balde

Paris Saint-Germain:

Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Ruiz, Vitinha, Lee; Barcola, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia

Latest Brest vs PSG football review

As the domestic trophy cabinet at the Parc des Princes grows ever larger, PSG are still searching for that elusive first Champions League title, and an indifferent group stage has not exactly fuelled belief that this could be their year.

Indeed, Enrique's men won just one of their first five games of the 2024-25 campaign - thus leaving them in real danger of an early exit from the competition - but the Ligue 1 champions have found their rhythm of late with three straight victories.

Red Bull Salzburg, Manchester City and Stuttgart all succumbed to PSG's superiority in their final three group stage games, and the capital giants are now aiming to make it four consecutive wins in Europe's top competition for the first time in four years, having last achieved that feat in February 2021.

After hammering Stuttgart 4-1 in their final group game, PSG replicated that scoreline at home to Monaco on Friday night, the perfect celebration for head coach Enrique's new contract as he led their seemingly unstoppable attack to a fourth successive Ligue 1 title.

Speaking of good things to come, PSG's demolition of Monaco represented their fourth consecutive win in all competitions and extended their stunning unbeaten run to 16 games, although their most recent defeat came in a Champions League away game at Bayern Munich.

As PSG fell early in the Champions League, Eric Roy's Brest emerged as shock contenders for a coveted top-eight spot, winning three of their first four group-stage games and holding Bundesliga invincibles Bayer Leverkusen to a draw.

Les Pirates couldn't maintain their superb run in Europe in the second half of the opening stage, despite Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Shakhtar Donetsk all proving too strong, but sinking PSV Eindhoven on matchday five secured their place in the play-offs.

Not since Nice in the 1956-57 edition - just the second year of the European Cup - has a French side reached the knockout stages in their inaugural campaign and Brest warmed up for Tuesday's historic match in ideal fashion.

After overseeing a 2-1 Coupe de France win away to Troyes on 4 February, Roy presided over a 2-0 Ligue 1 win over Nantes on Friday evening, as goals from Ludovic Ajorque and Pierre Lees-Melou ensured Brest would maintain their top-half position in the table.

However, Brest's most recent home game was against none other than PSG, who climbed to a 5-2 win in the top flight on February 1 to reach an incredible 30-game unbeaten run against Les Pirates, who had not conquered the champions since January 1985.
