Brest will entertain league leaders Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) at the Stade Francis-Le Blé in Ligue 1 on Saturday.
The hosts returned to winning ways after three back-to-back defeats in Ligue 1 last Sunday. Franck Honorat scored the only goal of the game in injury time of the first half as they recorded a 1-0 away win over Strasbourg. With the win, they moved out of the relegation zone and are in 15th place in the league table.
PSG have recorded three wins in a row in the league and eased past Nantes last Saturday at home. Goals from Lionel Messi, Danilo Pereira, Kylian Mbappe, and an own goal from Jaouen Hadjam helped them record a 4-2 win.
They faced an exit from the UEFA Champions League at the hands of Bayern Munich in the round of 16, failing to score in the two legs as they fell to a 3-0 defeat. They will look to put that defeat behind them and maintain their lead at the top of the standings.
