PSG vs Brest score prediction
PSG's absences will force Enrique to tinker, and the Spaniard will undoubtedly have some concerns heading into Sunday's game despite his side's impressive run of form.
The hosts' measured build-up will be put to the test by Brest's excellent press. Only PSG have achieved more high turnovers in Ligue 1 than Sunday's visitors this season.
PSG's makeshift backline could have some issues against a direct Brest outfit who are awkward to play against. The hosts will have to be at their measured best to claim all three points, so a draw could be in the offing.
Prediction: PSG 1-1 Brest
