Stade Francis-Le Blé - Brest
After his three goals against Stuttgart in the Champions League on Wednesday, Ousmane Dembélé is the first player in the history of Paris SG to score two consecutive hat-tricks in an official match. He is the fourth player playing in the Top Five European leagues to achieve this performance over the last five seasons, after Erling Haaland (x3), Harry Kane (x2) and Karim Benzema.
Paris SG have 50 points after 20 matches in Ligue 1 2024-25 (W15 D5). Counting three points for a win, only two teams have reached this mark at this stage of a season in the top-flight: PSG (in 1985-86, 2015-16, 2017-18 and 2018-19) and Lyon (in 2006-07).
Brest have lost three of their last four matches in all competitions (W1), after having lost just one of their previous seven (W6).
Brest have only won 8% of their matches against Paris in Ligue 1 (3/36), their lowest winning percentage against a current top-flight side. SB29 have even gone 26 matches without a win against PSG in Ligue 1 (D8 L16).
Brest have lost 10 home games against Paris in Ligue 1 (W2 D6), at least three more than against any other team. SB29 have lost seven home games in a row against PSG in Ligue 1, one of the two opponents Paris have travelled to the most while winning 100% of their games under QSI, along with Metz.
Brest have won each of their last three games in Ligue 1, while with nine wins from 19 matches in Ligue 1 2024-25, SB29 can reach 10 wins after 20 matches for the second time in their history after last season (first 18 matches).
Unbeaten since the start of the Ligue 1 season (W14 D5), Paris can remain undefeated in their first 20 matches of a top-flight campaign for the fourth time after 1985-86, 2015-16 and 2018-19. Only St Etienne in 1957-58, Nantes in 1994-95 and Lyon in 2004-05 have done so in the past.
Four of Paris' five draws in Ligue 1 this season have come directly after a UEFA Champions League match. PSG have less than a 50% win rate in their 2024-25 Ligue 1 matches directly following a European match (W3 D4). Meanwhile, Brest have a record of six wins and one loss in their league games after a UEFA Champions League match.
