Ligue 1 action returns as Stade Brest welcomes Paris Saint-Germain to the Stade Francis-Le Blé for Round 20. The hosts have put up a fine season so far, lying eighth in the table with 9W, 1D, and 9L, but most importantly, they have had a good home run. Still, their toughest test comes with PSG, currently leading the pack, unbeaten so far with 14W, 5D, 0L, and in the hottest of forms.
Coming into this fixture, both teams played in midweek Champions League matches, with Brest losing 3-0 to Real Madrid and PSG eased past Stuttgart 4-1, a match in which Ousmane Dembélé scored a hat trick.
With PSG's attacking firepower combined with Brest's resilience at home, this is going to be one hell of a tie. Now, let's head into team previews, the head-to-head record, and the best betting tips for the high-stakes fixture.

Brest have been one of the big surprises of Ligue 1 this season. Under Eric Roy, they have managed to pull away from their relegation predictions and have been solid at home, where they won four of the last five. Their last game in the league was a win, 2-1, against Rennes, but the Champions League dream took a bit of blow as they lost 3-0 to Real Madrid at the Bernabéu.
The biggest challenge for Brest in this match will be coping with PSG's relentless attack while trying to exploit any defensive lapses. This Under 10.5 corners trend - which has occurred in 4/5 games, indicates that they usually play compact matches with limited set-piece opportunities.
The club was granted the license to build a new 15,000-capacity stadium, Arkea Park, and will break ground in 2025. In the meantime, until it is completed-estimated to be 2027-Brest will continue to play Champions League games at Stade de Roudourou in Guingamp, which was an interim but necessary arrangement considering UEFA stadium legislation.

The only undefeated team currently in Ligue 1, PSG does not give out any impression that they are slowing down soon. Luis Enrique's men have started to fire on all cylinders, witnessed from the way they thrashed Stuttgart 4-1 in the UCL with a brilliant hat-trick by Ousmane Dembélé and the inclusion of another by Bradley Barcola.
While PSG's attack has been unstoppable, their defense hasn't been perfect, having conceded in each of their last six matches. Considering how good Brest is at home, a competitive fixture might just be seen.
Fabián Ruiz celebrated 100 games for PSG, a big milestone after he joined the team from Napoli back in 2022.
