Top 5 reasons to watch Brest v PSG | OneFootball

Here is our series: the 5 good reasons to watch a match. Before each game, we’ll look back at the appealing storylines with a mix of seriousness and humor. Mind you, this is not meant to be an exhaustive overview of the subject. We continue here with Paris Saint-Germain’s match (13th) this Sunday against Brest (7th) at Stade Francis-Le Blé on matchday 4 of Ligue 1 2026-2027 (kick-off 8:45pm, Brest/PSG broadcast on Ligue1+).

5. A special emotion.

That will certainly be the case for a moment against Brest, at least throughout the season, with thoughts for Eric Roy. An iconic figure in French football and the author of an impressive spell at Brest, the King sadly passed away last summer after battling cancer. The club is moving forward, with his former assistant Julien Lachuer taking over, but the emotion is still there. He was a coach who always had the right words, and who also knew how to be positive toward PSG. There could still be some beautiful scenes this Sunday, such as a tifo from the Parisian supporters.

4. One last time with the supporters before a month-long break.

We just mentioned the supporters, and this will be a moment to fully enjoy that connection with the players. They are then banned from traveling to Stade Vélodrome next Sunday (matchday 5 of Ligue 1), and the international break begins right after that. PSG’s next match with supporters will not be until October 10 against Le Mans at the Parc des Princes (matchday 6 of Ligue 1).

3. Which Parisian team?

It’s the big guessing game around PSG matches with coach Luis Enrique, who is used to surprises and bold decisions amid heavy competition and minute management that pushes status somewhat into the background. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Désiré Doué, João Neves, Warren Zaïre-Emery and Marquinhos did not play in the Champions League, so they could start this time. But even that is far from certain. There are many options, and the decisions are far from obvious for this Sunday. Everyone can try to guess.

2. Back it up after the Champions League.

After some frustrating Ligue 1 matches, PSG let loose against Slovan Bratislava on Wednesday in the first matchday of the Champions League. Now they have to build on that 6-1 win, even if Paris cannot always score that many goals. They still need to regain confidence and sharpness in front of goal. Without forgetting to defend all together and with intensity.

1. Already 8 points behind the leaders.

There is no drama or alarm, but PSG still have not won and are seeing first place slip away. They are not used to this situation, and they must not become used to it. So now is the time to start a strong run in the league. Any other result would become very troublesome.
