PSG – Brest: Lineups, Injuries, and Stakes Ahead of the Champions League Playoff Second Leg
This is a match Paris Saint-Germain cannot afford to lose, but they have a comfortable lead. PSG hosts Stade Brestois on Wednesday, February 19, for the Champions League playoff second leg. With a 3-0 victory in the first leg, Paris is in a strong position to qualify for the Round of 16, where they could face FC Barcelona or Liverpool.
Does PSG Have Too Much of an Advantage?
After a heavy defeat at home, Brest seems on the verge of elimination, but Éric Roy’s squad refuses to give up. Last weekend, they showed resilience, securing a 2-2 draw against Auxerre. However, in three meetings this season, PSG has won every time.
Injuries and Predicted Lineups
PSG Absentees: Warren Zaïre-Emery and Ibrahim Mbaye (injured).
Predicted PSG lineup: Donnarumma – Mendes, Marquinhos, Pacho, Hakimi – Vitinha, Ruiz, Neves – Dembélé, Barcola, Doué.
Brest Absentees: Bradley Locko, Romain Del Castillo, Ibrahim Salah, and Jordan Amavi (injured).
Predicted Brest lineup: Bizot – Haidara, Chardonnet, Ndiaye, Lala – Lees-Melou, Camara, Magnetti – Baldé, Ajorque, Sima.
With one foot in the next round, PSG will look to control the game and secure their spot in the Champions League Round of 16.
