Brest vs PSG: Storylines andHead-to-Head
Coming from a tough 2020-2021 season in which they avoided relegation just by one point, Brest knew they would need to pick up points from the beginning to have a better finish. They seem to have begun this season with the right mentality, as they held Olympique Lyon in the opening round and snatched a point to Rennes with a stoppage-time equalizer.
But the upcoming match will probably be the hardest this season. PSG have built one of the most intimidating squads in the game history, althoughLionel Messi wouldn’t play yet . Paris arrive at this clash with two wins under their belts, having beaten Troyes on Matchday 1 and RC Strasbourg last weekend.
These two have a background of games against each other and, unsurprisingly, Paris Saint-Germain have the edge. They’ve won 17 of the 31 matches, while Brest claimed three triumphs, and they shared the points on 11 occasions.
