PSG continue their bid to win the French Cup for the first time since 2021. The Ligue 1 leaders host Brest who are third in the table in this last 16 French Cup tie. PSG have won the French Cup a record 14 times but that win in 2021 is the last time they've made it through to the final. They come into this game eight points clear at the top of Ligue 1 (11 ahead of Brest) and also going well in the Champions League. To get to this stage of the French Cup they have beaten US Orleans 4-1 in the last 32. 14 games have been played in all competitions since their last defeat. That was against Milan in the Champions League and they haven't lost to a French side since being beaten by Nice last September. Last month saw PSG held to a 2-2 home draw by Brest after taking a 2-0 lead. 

Brest are hoping to qualify for the Champions League but would also love to reach their first ever French Cup final. Their last two games have both ended in a draw but they are unbeaten in their last 11 games last losing at Monaco three months ago. They have had to play two matches to get to the last 16 of the French Cup. Wins have come against Angers and 2-1 at Trellisac after trailing to them going into the 78th minute. They'd lost six games in a row to PSG before the recent draw. We back PSG to win and go into the quarter finals.
