Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
After dropping two points in a 1-1 draw with St Etienne, Paris Saint-Germain will be looking to return to winning ways in the Ligue 1 when they host Brest at their Parc des Princes on Matchday 19. Les Parisiens are three points behind league leaders Lyon in the Ligue 1 standings, and, no doubt, they are eager to return to winning ways in the French top flight.
Even though the likes of Neymar, Paredes, Kurzawa, Kimpembe, Icardi, Florenzi, Danilo, and Bernat remain in the recovery room, home win should be considered as Kylian Mbappe and Co. are eager to return to winning ways. Brest, on the other hand, did well to beat Nice 2-0 at home, but given their poor away record, we do not believe that the underdogs are capable of claiming a major scalp on Matchday 19. In their last meeting at Parc des Princes PSG outplayed Brest 3-1.
