Form and Line-up Paris Saint-Germain
Paris Saint-Germain lead the table with 70 points after 31 rounds: 22 wins, four draws and five defeats with a goal difference of +43. The recent spell has remained impressive even around the Champions League ties: 1:1 against Bayern Munich, 2:2 with Lorient, 5:4 against Bayern Munich, 3:0 against Angers and 3:0 against Nantes. Goncalo Ramos, Kang-in Lee and Ilya Zabarnyi did not come on in Munich, so Luis Enrique still has fresh options for rotation. The team have scored 14 goals in their last five matches but conceded seven, so it makes more sense to look to the main markets through a high scoreline rather than a routine win.
Key numbers:
In the last 23 matches between these teams in all competitions, Paris Saint-Germain have won 21 times.
559 shots and 215 on target this season: on average 18 shots and seven shots on target per game.
Paris Saint-Germain's scoring streak has reached 23 matches in all competitions.
Probable line-up (4-3-3): Matvey Safonov — Warren Zaire-Emery, Ilya Zabarnyi, Lucas Hernandez, Nuno Mendes — Kang-in Lee, Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz — Desire Doue, Goncalo Ramos, Bradley Barcola.
Absentees: Achraf Hakimi, Lucas Chevalier, Quentin Ndjantou — all injured.
Form and Line-up Stade Brestois 29
Stade Brestois 29 are 12th with 38 points after 31 rounds: 10 wins, eight draws and 13 defeats with a goal difference of -10. Recent results have been tough: 0:4 against Paris Saint-Germain, 3:3 with Lens, 1:1 with Nantes, 3:4 against Rennes and 0:3 against Auxerre. Seven scored and 15 conceded across those five matches illustrate the condition of the side before a trip to the leaders. Kenny Lala misses this match because of an accumulation of cards, so Luck Zogbe is expected to start on the right.
Key numbers:
41 goals scored from 38.78 xG and 51 conceded from 45.28 xGA.
No wins against Paris Saint-Germain in the last 23 matches (21 defeats).
In three of their last four away league games, Stade Brestois 29 failed to score.
Probable line-up (4-1-4-1): Gregoire Coudert — Luck Zogbe, Brendan Chardonnet, Soumaila Coulibaly, Daouda Guindo — Joris Chotard — Remy Labeau Lascary, Hugo Magnetti, Lucas Tousart, Romain Del Castillo — Ludovic Ajorque.
Absentees: Kenny Lala (suspension), Bradley Locko (injury).
