PSG vs Brest Coupe prediction
Reigning French Ligue 1 champions PSG continued their title charge at the weekend with a narrow 2-1 win away at mid-table outfit Strasbourg, a result that opened up a 7-point cushion atop the standings for the Parisiens. After failing to convert a penalty earlier, Kylian Mbappé scored his 20th Ligue 1 goal of the season to see off the stubborn hosts who saw their eight-game unbeaten run (5W, 3D) come to an end. PSG now turn their guns on the French Cup with this midweek fixture as they welcome Brest to the capital. Luis Enrique will be looking for a quick turnaround from his squad with the matches now coming in fast and furious and with Champions League resuming soon
Brest have surpassed expectations with a strong run in Ligue 1 this season. They on their part drew 0-0 with Nice at their Stade Francis Le Blé for the second time this season. The two meanest defences in Ligue 1 lived up the billing with neither side cracking the well-drilled defences in this game for a share of the spoils. The results didn’t dent Brest as such as they remain third on the log midway through the season and on course for one of their best finishes in years. This cup game presents them another opportunity to prove their credentials after they held PSG at the same venue in the league just about a week ago.
What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? That is the question this game will seek to answer. These two teams have a contrast in their playing styles. While PSG have their free-flowing attacking style, Brest like to defend resolutely and hit on the counters. We expect PSG, roared by the raucous home crowd to come out firing from all cylinders here. Despite Brest’s vaunted defence, the home side just have too many weapons at their disposal. We are backing PSG to win at halftime and full-time as our main PSG vs Brest Coupe prediction

Prediction 2: Over 2.5 Goals
PSG have been on an absolute tear in this competition, winning the previous two rounds with 9-0 and 4-1 scorelines against lower-division opponents.
We expect them to continue pushing the tempo as they try to capture the cup that has been elusive the last couple of seasons despite their dominance in the French top flight.
The last 3 H2H matches between these teams has witnessed at least 3 goals including the last meeting at the end of January which ended 2-2.
We expect a close game here but there will be goal-scoring opportunities either way considering PSG’s defence hasn’t quite been rock solid this season. We are therefore backing this match to have at least 3 goals finding the back of the net with terrific odds for this option available at Paripesa

Prediction 3: PSG Over 5.5 Corners
As outlined before, the pattern we expect here is quite predictable. PSG will enjoy the lion’s share of the possession with Brest content to sit back and try and hit on the counters.
That January meeting had PSG taking 7 corners to 0 for Brest.
PSG have had 5 or more corners in each of their last 5 straight matches.
We expect that to continue in this match and we are backing PSG to take at least 6 corners as our final PSG vs Brest Coupe prediction
