Two sides in top form, PSG and Brest will meet in a Ligue 1 game on Sunday, both looking to extend their winning runs. PSG plays host in this game, hoping to extend their lead while Brest seek to open a four-point gap in third spot. Being eight points ahead of second placed Nice, PSG are well on course in their title defence. They warmed up for this game with a 4-1 away win at Orleans in the French Cup. Kylian Mbappe was on hand with a brace before Goncalo Ramos and Senny Mayulu sealed the big win. That was their fifth straight win and their 12th match unbeaten. PSG have only failed to win in four of their last 18 matches, losing just once. They’ve lost just once in their 18 league matches so far. That defeat came at home to Nice, and they’ll want to avoid falling to another top-three side. With 14 straight wins over Brest, PSG will be walking into this game as the clear favorites.

The last time Brest and PSG met, Brest almost nicked a point after coming from 2-0 down. It took a late Kylian Mbappe goal to secure three points for PSG in a 3-2 away win. Brest will be keen to avenge that painful loss, seeking their first ever win over PSG. They have suffered 14 straight defeats against PSG, only managing a draw in one of their 16 meetings. Twice in their last five meetings with PSG, Brest almost shocked the French giants, scoring two goals on each occasion. Coming here unbeaten in nine matches, Brest will feel they are in good shape to slow down PSG. In their most recent outing, Brest beat Trelissac 2-1 in the French Cup for their sixth straight win. That was a labored win though, with Brest needing late goals from Kenny Lala and Martin Satriano, coming from behind. Before this game, they have five straight clean sheets and they’ll want to restart that run as well.
