Command Analysis

Paris Saint-Germain

Current form
PSG approached the start of the Champions League as one of the contenders for victory, although they were not even among the three clear favorites of the upcoming battle. However, Luis Enrique's team had to count on a place in the top eight, and the selection of players made it possible to solve this problem without problems. However, in the end, the Red-blues risked being left without the 1/16 finals, having barely retained their place in the top 24 in the last round.
In the away match against Stuttgart, a defeat guaranteed to send PSG outside the top 24, but they managed to pull themselves together and beat Schwab 4-1, thus finishing in 15th place in the table. In the playoffs, the draw brought Parisians together with Brest, and in the first match the Red-Blues took a big step towards the playoffs, beating the Pirates 3-0.
Before the start of the season, PSG was considered the clear and practically the only contender for the championship title in the French championship, having a huge advantage over competitors in the selection of players. The red-whites justify this status without any problems, leading the table at the end of 22 rounds with 56 points in the asset, the second Marseille is already 10 points behind and is not yet a threat.

Brest

Current form
Brest, after a great last season, broke into the Champions League, where, for objective reasons, it was not considered a contender for a place in the top eight. At the same time, Eric Rua's team had the right to expect a place in the top 24 and the selection of players allowed them to set themselves such tasks. The "PR" started superbly, scoring 10 points in four rounds and even claiming a direct ticket to the 1/8 finals.
However, Brest did not have enough stability and experience in the end, and in the home straight there were two defeats in a row from Shakhtar Donetsk (0:2) and Real Madrid (0:3), which put an end to the chances of making it into the top eight. In the playoffs, the Pirates got one of the most difficult opponents in the face of PSG, and no miracle happened - a 0-3 defeat in the first meeting practically eliminates the chances of reaching the next round.
In the French championship, Brest, torn on two fronts, failed the first round and for a long time got out of the bottom of the table. As a result, we managed to add, and at the moment the Pirates occupy the ninth place in the table with 32 points and are four points behind the sixth Lyon, such a handicap still leaves chances for European cups, but there are also Strasbourg and Lens higher in the table.
Disqualifications and injuries
Del Castillo and Salah are injured.
Interesting betting trends
- Brest have scored three wins in their last three away matches.
- Brest scored in four of the last five away matches.
- Brest have conceded in five of the last six matches.
Approximate composition: Bizot – Lala, Chardonnay, Ndiaye, Zogbe – Li-Melu, Magnetti, Camara Favre, Ajork, Sima.

1.99Tip and bets
Brest lost by a three-goal margin in the first match, and there is practically no intrigue anymore. At the same time, the lack of responsibility for the result may well allow the Pirates to play more freely and openly, especially since PSG will no longer insist on total dominance. Brest scores regularly against the red-blue team, and they probably won't leave their opponents dry in the second match in a row. At the same time, PSG is in great shape and will certainly be able to respond.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. The forecast is that both will score. This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.90
Betting on the outcome
PSG demonstrated in the first match how great the superiority of the Parisians in the class is over the opponent, and they have managed to gain crazy form lately. The red-blues will probably also try to win on their own field, and Brest in its current state is unlikely to be capable of a feat and a revival of intrigue. The pirates will try to give a fight, but the forces are too unequal, and even after a 0-3 defeat, problems may arise with motivation, it makes sense to count on a confident victory of the favorite in the return match.
The bet is an Asian handicap (-2) on PSG. This bet is offered for 1.87
Combined bid
PSG defeated Brest in the last two face–to-face meetings with a total score of 8:2 - after losing by three goals in the first match, the guests clearly did not have much motivation left. It is obvious that the "red-blue" is quite capable of justifying the status of the favorite and formalizing a victory in the return leg, but it is unlikely that they will be able to beat their opponent dry. Brest has high-quality players ahead of them and today they will be deprived of serious responsibility for the result, the pirates are quite capable of answering.
The bet is a PSG victory and both will score. This bet is offered for 2.55
