Brest vs PSV Prediction & Betting Tips (10 December)

The feat did not take place for Stade Brestois against FC Barcelona on the last day. Traveling to the Blaugrana field, the Bretons were logically no match for the power of the Catalan collective and they ended up conceding their first defeat in this Champions League despite a decent performance. However, this Finistère team, which is participating for the first time in its history in a European Cup, has already performed very well so far by winning 3 wins during the first 4 days of this league phase against Sturm Graz 2 -1 , RB Salzburg 0-4, Bayer Leverkusen 1-1 and Sparta Prague 1-2. Performances which still allow it to occupy 11th place in the ranking with the same number of points as 8th, Monaco. These good European performances are all the more surprising as the Finisterians are struggling in the championship. After suffering 3 defeats in a row against Nice 0-1, Montpellier 3-1 and Monaco 3-2 , Eric Roy's players will face Strasbourg and Lille. Opposite, PSV Eindhoven logically has much more experience than its opponent on the European scene.

However, this does not prevent him from appearing behind him in the rankings. The Dutch did not start this competition very well, following three unsuccessful first matches against Juventus 3-1, Sporting 1-1 and PSG 1-1 . But they were then able to accelerate by largely dominating Girona 4-0 then overthrowing Shakhtar Donetsk after a crazy match on the last day to return to 18th position in the ranking. In their own championship, however, Peter Bosz's men are practically irresistible. Winners of 12 of their first 13 matches, they will face Utrecht and Twente before traveling to Brittany.

Victim of a fairly serious injury during the trip to Monaco, Pierre Lees-Melou will not be recovered for this last European poster of the year. This is a considerable loss for Stade Brestois which will therefore have to do without its playing master but he was not there either for the Bretons' first two successes on the European scene. The long-term injured Locko and the young Ivorian Zogbé (not registered) will not be there either. Otherwise, everyone should be on deck on the Ty-Zefs side who will therefore be able to count on the prolific Sima who has already scored 3 goals in the Champions League. Center forward Ajorque is still looking for his first goal in this competition. In the heart of the game, we should find the excellent Fernandes, Magnetti and Camara who have met the requirements of this Champions League.

On the PSV side, we still regret many absentees for this trip to Roudourou. The Veerman, Schouten and Dest framework elements, potentially holders, are still not reinstated, nor are the young Driouech and Nagalo. The Dutch will still have some good quality players in their ranks, such as the dynamite winger Lang, the striker experienced Luuk de Jong (8 goals in all competitions), the excellent midfielder Tillman (5 goals in the league, 3 in C1) and the offensive Mexican Lozano (4 goals in the league) in particular. We must also be wary of the American nugget Pepi (9 goals in the league, 1 in C1). We also find some veterans of the French championship like the former Nice goalkeeper Benitez and the defender Boscagli (also ex Nice).
