Latest team news for Brest vs PSG
Ahead of the match against Monaco, PSG announced that Warren Zaire-Emery and Ibrahim Mbaye are both recovering from ankle sprains and are likely to miss the game against Brest.
The reigning French champions have a fairly long injury list ahead of their trip to Stade Francis-Le Ble. However, new signing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia could make his UCL debut for his new team on the left flank.
The Georgian international will be playing alongside Ousmane Dembele, who recently scored a hat-trick against Stuttgart before going on to score a brace against Monaco. In total, he has scored 21 goals in all competitions this season.
On the Brest side, Bradley Locko (leg) and Karamoko Dembele (muscle) are ineligible to play. Meanwhile, midfielder Jonas Martin is also recovering from injury. His chances of playing are very low.
However, manager Roy doesn't need to worry about new injuries. PSG's defense will have to be wary of the tall striker Ajorque on the home team's side.
The 30-year-old created more pressure in the opponent's half than anyone else in the group stage (447 times). In addition, he had 293 instances of pressing within the attacking third. This record is only surpassed by Erling Haaland (295 times).

Latest football match prediction: Brest vs PSG
Despite the increasingly crowded trophy room at Parc des Princes, PSG has yet to win the Champions League. A lackluster group stage performance further diminished hopes for a successful season for the team.
In fact, Enrique's team only won 1 of their first 5 matches of the 2024-25 season, facing the risk of early elimination. However, the Ligue 1 champions regained their stability in the final stages and secured 3 consecutive victories.
Red Bull Salzburg, Manchester City, and Stuttgart all succumbed to PSG's dominance in their final three group stage matches. The French giants are aiming for their first four consecutive wins in Europe's most prestigious competition in four years (a feat previously achieved in February 2021).
After annihilating Stuttgart 4-1 in their final group stage match, PSG replicated that scoreline at home against Monaco. A perfect celebration for coach Enrique's new signing. He is also leading the team closer to their fourth consecutive Ligue 1 title.
On the positive side, the victory against Monaco marked PSG's fourth consecutive win in all competitions. They also extended their unbeaten run to 16 matches (their last defeat was an away game in the Champions League against Bayern Munich).
While PSG were quickly seen as a potential "spoiler" in the Champions League, Eric Roy's Brest emerged as a shock contender for a top-eight spot. They won three of their first four group stage matches and held Bundesliga giants Bayer Leverkusen to a draw.
However, Les Pirates were unable to maintain their impressive form in the latter half of the group stage (Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Shakhtar Donetsk proved too strong). Nevertheless, a victory against PSV Eindhoven in the fifth matchday secured their place in the play-offs.
Since Nice (in the 1956-57 season), a new French team has reached the knockout stage in their very first campaign. Brest has also prepared perfectly for this historic match next Tuesday.
After defeating Troyes 2-1 in the Coupe de France (February 4th), coach Roy led his team to a 2-0 victory over Nantes in Ligue 1 on Friday evening. Thanks to goals from Ludovic Ajorque and Pierre Lees-Melou, Brest maintained their position in the top half of the table.
Nevertheless, Brest's most recent home game was against none other than PSG. The capital club won 5-2 on February 1st, extending their unbeaten streak against Les Pirates to an incredible 30 matches. Brest haven't beaten the champions since January 1985.
