PSG vs Stade Brest Prediction: It's party time for Kylian Mbappe

Paris Saint Germain and Stade Brest always produce a thrilling encounter whenever they face each other. It's almost as if there's not much of a difference between both sides in recent times, as Paris Saint Germain’s quality is matched by Brest’s resilience in their recent meetings. Their last meeting ended in a draw despite PSG coasting to a 2 goals advantage during the game. Now they meet once again and this time a win is the only possible result for any team that wishes to progress. Paris Saint Germain come into any french tournament as favorites to win but Stade Brest are not fazed and have their sights set on knocking the league leaders off the tournament. 

Paris Saint Germain

Paris Saint Germain will have to come up with a better plan to break this Stade Brest team. At the moment, everything looks good in Ligue 1 and they intend to maintain that winning form in this cup game even though the priority for this team is the UEFA Champions League. 

PSG are no visitors to this stage of the tournament and they began their campaign with a 9-0 win over US Revel, a lower division side. Kylian Mbappe scored a hat trick, Randal Kolo Muani scored a brace, while Marco Asensio, Maxence N’Guessan, Goncalo Ramos and Cher Ndour all scored one goal each in the game. And in the next game, PSG beat Orleans 4-1. Once again Kylian Mbappe was unstoppable as he grabbed a brace in the 16th and 63rd minutes, while Goncalo Ramos and Senny Meyulu scored one goal each. Orleans were able to pull one goal back through Nicolas Saint-Ruf in the 86th minute. 

Stade Brest

Stade Brest have played their last 2 games without a win, with both games ending in a draw. So they are in desperate need of a good result to put them back on the right track. One among the 2 draws was against PSG, where they came from 2-goals down to peg the game at 2-2.

Stade Brest have been good so far in the tournament despite winning both games they played by very tight margins. Their first cup match was against Angers and Stade Brest won by an own goal scored by Lilian Raolisoa in the 63rd minute. And in their second game, they played against Trelissac and won 2-1. The game was tight until the 75th minute when Benoit Bisson put Trelissac in the lead and 3 minutes later, Stade Brest won a penalty and Kenny Lala made no mistake to draw both sides level. Finally Martin Satriano gave Brest the second goal in the 88th minute and they eventually held onto the lead until the end of the game.

Head to Head

Paris Saint Germain and Stade Brest have had a one-sided affair. In their 17 meetings against each other, Paris Saint Germain have won 15 times and they drew only twice. 

Analysis and Predictions

It's difficult seeing PSG leave the competition this early but it's not entirely impossible. Can Stade Brest be the team to upset the Ligue 1 giants? Maybe or maybe not. But both sides would need to be on top of their game to get the desired results. Stade Brest will put up their strongest possible lineup to avoid getting eaten by PSG and Kylian Mbappe will be on rampage for goals once again.
