Our prediction for this Champions League match:
Buoyed by a 2-0 win over Nantes, Brest will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face fellow Ligue 1 side PSG in the Champions League knockout stages. Les Pirates are hungry for revenge as they were beaten by PSG (2-5) in the national championship earlier this month and they are likely to leave their hearts on the field. Bradley Locko and Jonas Martin should be the only absentees in the home team.
Les Pirates, on the other hand, are on a four-game winning run in all competitions and with big-money signing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia being available for selection, away win should definitely be considered. Luis Enrique can’t count on Warren Zaire-Emery for Tuesday’s clash, but there are no other selection worries in the away team. Brest defenders should have Ousmane Dembele at bay as the former Barcelona forward scored a brace in a 4-1 win over Monaco at the weekend.
Highlighted Team (PSG):

Formed by the merger of Paris FC and Stade Saint-Germain in 1970, Paris Saint-Germain or as they call it PSG is the most successful club in French football with 31 domestic titles to their name. Having won six Ligue 1 title so far, a record ten Coupes de France, a record six Coupes de la Ligue, six Trophees des Champions and one Ligue 2 title, PSG are also one of only two French clubs to ever win a European title.
Les Parisiens were crowned UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup champions back in 1995-96, while their last European trophy was the 2001 UEFA Intertoto Cup. Beginning of the new millennium was particularly hard for the celebrated club who flirted with relegation in 2000s before they were bought by the Quatar Sports Investments group in 2011 when the rebirth of the Paris Saint-Germain as we know it today began.
Following heavy squad investments and team boosting, PSG won their first Ligue 1 title in 19 years with Swedish legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic almost singlehandedly leading his side towards the trophy with 30 goals. Having established domestic dominance, PSG now set their sights on winning the Champions League which remains an elusive dream for the club from Paris.
