Brest vs PSG: no Messi so far?
We offer a prediction for Ligue 1 match between Brest and Paris Saint-Germain on August 20. What to expect from this duel? The answer is in our prediction.
Command Analysis
Brest
FranceIn the previous season only a miracle and Nantes saved today hosts from relegation. In 38 rounds Brest recorded 11 victories and eight draws, which brought them 41 points and a 17th place in the standings.
After a victory over Saint-Etienne (2:1) 29ers completely failed 3 out of last 4 matches, managing only to snatch a draw against Montpellier (0:0). We should note that team have scored 50 goals, but conceded even more.
During the summer club signed Marco Bizot from AZ for 5 million euros, Lillian Brassier from Rennes for 2 million euros and Jere Uronen from Genk for 1 million.
In the first round Michel Der Zakarian's side had a draw against Lyon (1:1) and then had the same result against Rennes (1:1).
Belkebla, Herelle, Lasne and Cibois, who has an achilles injury, won't be able to play in an upcoming match.
Paris Saint-Germain
FranceIn the previous season Paris Saint-Germain won only one title - French Cup, beating Monaco in the final. In the Ligue 1 PSG lost focus at the start and eventually failed to catch up to the new champion, losing the title to Lille by only one point.
In 38 rounds Red-Blues recorded 26 victories and four draws, which brought them 82 points. Team had the best offensive record in the league, they have scored 86 goals, 27 of them were scored by Kylian Mbappe.
At the start of the new season Mauricio Pochettino's men lost the French Super Cup to the reigning champion with a 0:1 score, but then recorded two victories - over Troyes (2:1) and Strasbourg (4:2).
Of course the main signing of the summer is Lionel Messi, who is not ready to play yet. Parisians also signed Sergio Ramos, Achraf Hakimi from Inter for 60 million euros, Gianluigi Donnarumma from Milan and Danilo Pereira from Porto for 16 million euros.
Bernat, Gueye, Dagba, Letellier and Ramos are on team's injuried list.

Tip and bets
Brest got off to a good start, but hosts are unlikely to resist today. In our opinion, defensive strategy won't help the 29ersto withstand against PSG, who should be able to record a victory even despite the huge number of injuried players. Pirates are unlikely to avoid a blowout today.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (-2) on PSG
Visitors are head above their opponents in each line, but the defense of Parisians is their weak spot, they have conceded at least one goal in every match of the new season. In 3 out of 5 most recent head-to-head matches PSG won by a three goal margin and we are expecting the same result today.
Our second bet is on PSG to win by a three goal margin
