Brest will invite defending champions Real Madrid to the Stade du Roudourou in their final league phase match of the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday. Both teams are assured of a place in the knockout round playoffs and a win here might seal their berth directly in the round of 16.
The hosts have won four of their last five games in all competitions. After a 2-0 loss to Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League last week, they overcame Le Havre 1-0 in Ligue 1 on Sunday. Ludovic Ajorque scored the only goal of the match in the 25th minute.
Real Madrid extended their winning streak in all competitions to four games on Saturday with a 3-0 away triumph over Real Valladolid in La Liga. Kylian Mbappé displayed his class and bagged a hat-trick. They hosted RB Leipzig in the Champions League last week and registered a comfortable 5-1 win.
With just three points separating fifth-placed Atletico Madrid and 18th-placed Celtic, all teams will look to conclude their league phase with a win to boost their chances of securing a direct spot in the round of 16.
