Brest

Current form
Brest performed strongly in the French championship last season and sensationally made it into the Champions League. At the start of the league stage, Eric Roy team was approaching as a contender for a playoff spot - it was difficult to fight for the top eight, given the very modest selection of players, but the pirates certainly expected to make it into the top 24.
So far, Brest is coping with its task and is in 13th place in the table with 13 points, even having a chance to finish in the top eight and get to the 1/8 finals – eighth Bayer has only one point more. The situation could have been more promising, but in the last round Brest unexpectedly lost 0:2 to Shakhtar, suffering only the second defeat in the Champions League.
In the French championship this season Brest does not look its best – the struggle on two fronts has an effect. According to the results of 19 rounds, the pirates are only in eighth place in the table and are two points behind the Eurocup zone, the Champions League zone is five points away.

Real Madrid

Current form
Real Madrid won the UEFA Super Cup in August and traditionally approached the start of the Champions League as one of the main contenders for victory. However, Carlo Ancelotti team does not fully live up to this status and has already made several serious mistakes. The first warning bell rang in France, where the creamy team lost 0:1 to Lille in the second round.
Real misfortunes did not end there - in the fourth round, they lost 1:3 at home to Milan, and then the Galacticos lost 0:2 away to Liverpool. Thus, for now, the royal club occupies only 16th place in the table and does not have much chance of finishing in the top eight - Bayer is ahead by one point, but there is a whole group of competitors higher in the table.
In the Spanish championship, Real situation is much more promising - the creamy ones have been leading the table for a long time. They managed to break away from second Atletico by four points and such a handicap cannot be called significant yet, but the gap of seven points from Barcelona allows them to look to the future with optimism. Before leaving for France, Real thrashed Valladolid 3:0 in the championship, thus achieving their 15th victory of the season.
