Brest vs PSV Prediction
Les Pirates suffered their fifth loss in seven games last week and will look to bounce back here. They have lost just one of their last eight home games in all competitions, recording five wins, and will look to build on that form.
Ludovic Ajorque is a confirmed absentee and will serve a suspension due to yellow card accumulation. Soumaila Coulibaly, Romain Faivre, Kenny Lala, Pierre Lees-Melou, and Jonas Martin will miss this match due to injuries.
Boeren are on a six-game winning streak in all competitions, scoring 26 goals while conceding five times. They have suffered just one loss in their last 14 games in all competitions, recording 11 wins, and are strong favorites.
Peter Bosz rested Luuk de Jong in their league win over Twente and the veteran striker is likely to start here. Jerdy Schouten was also an unused substitute as a precaution.
The visitors have enjoyed a great run of form and are unbeaten in the Champions League since a loss in the campaign opener. They should be able to record a win.
