PSG vs Stade Brestois: Preview, prediction, lineup & how to watch on TV
By Manuel Meza
Paris Saint-Germain could not have started the 2024/25 season in a better way. The Parisians have already netted an impressive 13 goals in their first three Ligue 1 matches. Following the international break, Luis Enrique's side plans to maintain this momentum before embarking on their European adventure in the new edition and format of the UEFA Champions League.
However, their next opponent, Stade Brestois, will not make things easy. Brestois share the same ambition of heading into their first UCL match in top form. Indeed, the Breton side is among the French teams that have qualified for the group stage of the premier continental competition.
Without further ado, join us for our PSG vs Brest preview, featuring key information such as team news, predicted lineups, and how to watch PSG vs Stade Brestois on TV.

PSG news
The international break wasn’t kind to PSG. Luis Enrique saw Vitinha, Desire Doue, and Warren Zaire-Emery pick up injuries while playing for Portugal, France U21, and the senior French team, respectively. However, initial reports suggest that none of the injuries are severe, with only Zaire-Emery being a doubt for both the match against Brest and the Champions League game against Girona four days later.
I don’t anticipate Luis Enrique making significant changes to his starting XI. Although Randal Kolo Muani’s impressive form (he scored in the last match for both France and PSG) might earn him a spot in the starting line-up, it could come at the expense of Marco Asensio.
Predicted PSG lineup vs Brest: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Fabian, Vitinha, Neves; Dembele, Kolo Muani, Barcola.
Stade Brestois news
Stade Brestois have not had the best start to the league and will be looking for a win to get back on track in their match against PSG.
The Bretons, who will make their UEFA Champions League debut in the group stage against SK Sturm Graz, will be without the following players for the game against PSG: Lees Melou due to a leg fracture and Bradley Locko due to an Achilles tendon injury.
Predicted Brest lineup vs PSG: Bizot; Lala, Chardomet, Le Cardinal, Amavi; Camara, Magnetti, Romain Faivre; Del Castillo, Ajorque, Sima.

PSG vs Stade Brestois score prediction
To be honest, Stade Brestois, despite their impressive work last season, can be considered the weakest French team in European competitions. Therefore, I believe Luis Enrique's PSG will continue their winning streak. However, regardless of form, any team can make things difficult for PSG by defending resolutely, and this could happen. Still, I think Paris will come out on top.
Score prediction: PSG 2-0 Stade Brestois.
