Brest are looking to bounce back from a defeat last time out as they host PSV Eindhoven in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday. PSV are in good form and should have the upper hand in this one.
Brest made a bright start to their Champions League campaign as they won their opening two fixtures. However, Eric Roy’s men have now picked up just one win from their last three matches and were beaten 3-0 by Barcelona last time out.
The interesting thing about Brest is that the Champions League has been their refuge as they have struggled domestically. They have lost four of their last five matches across all competitions and warmed up for Tuesday’s clash with a 3-1 defeat to Lille.
PSV Eindhoven’s Champions League campaign has been almost opposite to Brest’s as they made a slow start and have now gone on to win the last two matches. They claimed a 4-0 victory over Girona before a 3-2 win over Shakhtar Donetsk.
The Dutch side has been cruising lately, winning their last six matches across all competitions. Goals have been easy to come by for Peter Bosz’s men, who claimed a 6-1 victory over Twente in the Eredivisie over the weekend.
How the bookies view it: PSV to win
The bookies have installed PSV as overwhelming favourites with a win priced at 21/20 by Kwiff. Brest are considered outsiders at home at 15/8 by Kwiff, who are also offering odds of 2/1 for a draw.
Head to head: No previous meetings
This will be the first ever fixture between Brest and PSV.
Players to watch: Pepi on fire
Ricardo Pepi has been one of the standout players for PSV this season and has looked almost unstoppable in the last few games. The forward has eight goals in his last 10 matches across all competitions and is priced at 19/10 by Kwiff to maintain his scoring run.
Brest often spread their goals across the team but Abdallah Sima could be the one to watch on Tuesday. The forward has three Champions League goals this season and is priced at 27/10 by Kwiff to find the net.
Probable line-ups
Brest have injury problems with forward Pierre Lees-Melou and defender Soumaila Coulibaly among a lengthy list of sidelined players. Sima was a second half substitute last weekend and could earn a start on Tuesday while Ludovic Ajorque should lead the line.
Defender Sergino Dest is the only major injury worry for PSV Eindhoven. Pepi should feature in attack alongside Noa Lang and Johan Bakayoko while Ryan Flamingo should start at the back.
Brest: Bizot, Zogbe, Chardonnet, Le Cardinal, Haidara, Camara, Magnetti, Balde, Doumbia, Sima, Ajorque
PSV Eindhoven: Benitez, Dams, Boscagli, Flamingo, Karsdorp, Saibari, Mauro Junior, Tillman, Bakayoko, Lang, Pepi
