Preview

On September 14, 2024, at the Parc des Princes stadium in Paris at 22:00, the fourth round match of Ligue 1 will take place, in which PSG will host Brest. Both teams are in different positions at the start of the season: PSG are unbeaten, confidently leading the standings, while Brest has only just begun to score points after an unsuccessful start. PSG started the season confidently, winning three victories in a row, scoring 13 goals and conceding only two. Luis Enrique's team is not experiencing problems on the domestic arena, although the departure of Kylian Mbappe and the subsequent legal proceedings around the club's debts add to the hype. On the field, the new leader of the team Bradley Barcola scored a brace in the first two matches and demonstrates confident play in attack. PSG defeated Le Havre 4:1 and Montpellier 6:0, and in the last match confidently beat Lille 3:1 away. The Parisians are looking to continue their winning streak and confirm their status as league leaders, despite the fact that they have not yet won back-to-back at the Parc des Princes in 2024.

Brest, who finished third last season and are making their Champions League debut, have had a difficult start to the new campaign. After a crushing 5-1 defeat to Marseille and a 2-0 loss to Lens, Eric Roy's side finally got their first win, thrashing Saint-Etienne 4-0. However, Brest are still adapting to the changes in their squad, and the match against PSG will be a serious test for them. Last season, the Pirates managed to draw 2-2 at the Parc des Princes, but their statistics against the Parisians remain disappointing - Brest's last victory over PSG dates back to 1985, and their only away victory was in 1981.

PSG are expected to be looking to extend their winning streak despite Champions League fixtures, but Brest could look to take advantage of the pressure on their hosts and repeat the success of last season's draw.
