PSG will host Brest on Saturday to solidify first place in Ligue 1. The French national team is expected to maintain its aggressive style of play after scoring goals at will in the current domestic competition. Home-field advantage should be seriously considered since Kylian Mbappe, the new superstar from Real Madrid, has not been severely missed.
Even if home team players like Presnel Kimpembe, Goncalo Ramos, and Warren Zaire-Emery are still in the locker room, the squad is not concerned about any new injuries. Meanwhile, Les Pirates want to build on their spectacular 4-0 victory against St. Etienne. We anticipate that the visitors will come home empty-handed from their journey to the "City of Lights" because of Brest's reputation as poor travelers and the reigning champions' blistering start to the season.
Previous Matches and Head-to-head
The defending champions of France's premier division got off to a fantastic start this season. They have a devastating offensive line and scored 13 goals in the season's first three games. Their undefeated streak in all competitions reached eight games with their third-match victory against Lille.
PSG will face Brest on Saturday in the fourth round of Ligue 1 matchups. Brest has won once this season but has lost twice so far. Keep in mind that Brest lost eight of its previous ten games. In its last five games, it conceded ten goals and lost three.

Our Predictions
Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.40 on Sky247.ng
With their superior heritage, PSG should cruise to a resounding victory against Brest on Saturday. Goals over 2.5 feet have been scored in five of PSG's past six home matches. Not to mention, their goal-scoring rate as of late has been phenomenal. Therefore, we anticipate a game with more than 2.5 goals.
Additionally, we must support both teams to score options in PSG's recent home matches because of their constant goal leakage. Six out of their previous seven home games have seen goals conceded.
Given these factors, our primary recommendation is for PSG to win by more than 2.5 goals. Considering Brest's offensive line, which scored in their last away encounters, we recommend both teams use the score option.
