Brest predicted XI v PSG: Romain Faivre benched, Kamory Doumbia starts | OneFootball

Stade Brestois travel to the Parc des Princes intending to overturn Paris Saint-Germain’s 3-0 lead and secure passage into the Champions League Round of 16. No small task but one that Brest head coach Eric Roy hopes to complete, stating “It’s within my capabilities.”

The head coach will largely field a similar squad to the one that lined up last week at the Stade de Roudourou except with a few rotations. Mama Baldé will replace Abdallah Sima in the front two as he lines up alongside Ludovic Ajorque (top scorer in Ligue 1 for Les Pirates but yet to find the net in Europe).

Romain Faivre had been given the nod as the most advanced midfielder in the first leg. However, the Bournemouth loanee will have to contend with a place on the bench as Roy looks instead to Kamory Doumbia.
