Top 5 reasons to watch Brest v PSG | OneFootball

Here is our saga. The 5 good reasons to follow a match (with some adaptations sometimes). We will revisit the attractive aspects before each match with a mix of seriousness and humor. Note that this is not an exhaustive tour of the subject. We continue here with the Paris Saint-Germain (2nd) match this Saturday against Brest (12th) at Stade Francis Le-Blé during the 9th day of Ligue 1 2025-2026 (kick-off at 5 PM, Brest/PSG broadcast on beIN SPORTS).

5. Another goal fest?

Since the October break, PSG has only played 2 matches but has already accumulated 15 goals in its encounters (3-3 against Strasbourg and 2-7 against Bayer Leverkusen). We are getting used to such a pace, even though we would like the Parisian defense to be more solid. We hope to have more spectacle to occupy this Saturday afternoon. Not to mention that Brest also had a 3-3 in Ligue 1 last weekend against Lorient.

4. Marquinhos is back.

He is not the most anticipated player, especially with the attack being decimated, but seeing the Parisian captain again is really good news. The 31-year-old defender strengthens the squad, and it's a pleasure to see him help lead the defense and his teammates. Not to mention that it allows others to catch a breath.

3. Doué ready to continue?

Désiré Doué (midfielder/forward, 20 years old) has been back for 2 matches and has been decisive each time. Notably with a very nice double against Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday. The media suggests he will be a substitute, but that's far from certain. In any case, we expect to see him play. And, probably, shine again. This player is special, it's a joy to see him back on the field.

2. Dembélé starting?

The 28-year-old forward played about 30 minutes against Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday, and it is conceivable that he will start this time. Although it's not guaranteed. He can, in any case, gain momentum and possibly be a bit more incisive in his ball handling. Enough to help PSG be even more dangerous, not forgetting his famous pressing.

1. Regaining the top of Ligue 1.

Everything is going well in the Champions League, less so in Ligue 1. After 2 consecutive draws, PSG lost the top spot last weekend to Olympique de Marseille. There's no need to panic, there are many matches left. But Paris must not linger either. This situation should not be accepted.

Therefore, they need to seek victory and get back ahead of OM while waiting for their match tonight in Lens. A difficult away game against the 4th place team which could lead to a loss of points.
