PSG are aiming to maintain their 100% start as they host Brest in a Ligue 1 fixture on Saturday. The champions have looked almost unstoppable and should be too strong for Brest, who have only won once so far.
PSG have begun the post-Kylian Mbappe era on an impressive note as they are maintaining a 100% record after three matches. They claimed a 3-1 victory over Lille in their previous Ligue 1 fixture with Bradley Barcola, Vitinha and Randal Kolo-Muani getting the goals.
Little has changed with PSG this season, particularly in attack as they have scored at least three goals in each of their games so far. Luis Enrique’s men claimed a 6-0 victory over Montpellier in their previous fixture at the Parc des Prince.
Expected to struggle at the other end of the spectrum, Brest have made a difficult start to the season. Eric Roy’s men have suffered two defeats in their opening three matches and will be keen to get their campaign up and running.
The good news for Brest is that they went into the international break with an impressive 4-0 victory over Saint-Etienne. They had four different goalscorers with Mahdi Camara, Romain Del Castillo, Ludovic Ajorque and Kenny Lala all on target.
