Paris FC vs Brest Prediction & Tips
It looked as though Paris FC were set for a strong finish to the season after going seven games unbeaten in Antoine Kombouaré’s first matches in charge (4W, 3D). However, the manager suffered his first defeat in the job last weekend, losing 1-0 at home to Lille. The quick return to the capital can only be seen as a positive for a team that had previously won three consecutive home matches. Furthermore, the Parisian side have not lost two consecutive league matches at their stadium since October 2023. However, that run could come to an end this weekend, as Kombouaré has failed to secure a win in his last five personal encounters against Brest (1D, 4L).
Whilst Paris FC have been in good form recently, Brest have followed the opposite trend. Their winless run in the league stretched to five matches last weekend (2 draws, 3 defeats) after squandering a 3-0 lead in a 3-3 draw against title-chasing Lens. As a result, the side have now dropped 17 points after taking the lead during the season, the highest tally in the league ahead of this matchday. The fact that they have kept a clean sheet in just one of their last 12 away matches in Ligue 1 will not give them much confidence to see out the game if they take the lead. Despite this, they have one positive omen: they have won their last three top-flight matches against newly promoted sides.
