Match Prediction: Brest vs. PSG
Brest has no issues with scoring at home in Ligue 1. The club has found the net in 9 of their last 10 home matches in this tournament, even scoring against strong opponents like Marseille (1-5) and Lyon (2-1). However, Brest's defense has been less reliable recently, conceding in their last 5 home league matches.
PSG maintains their scoring prowess even in away league matches. The club has scored in 13 of their last 14 away Ligue 1 matches, netting at least twice in 11 of those games. This attacking style often leads to defensive errors, as PSG has conceded in 7 of their last 9 away matches in this tournament.
Additionally, both teams have scored in 4 of the last 5 head-to-head matches at Brest's home ground in the league. I believe the upcoming match will follow this trend. My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
