Barcelona vs. Brest picks and predictions

Prediction

Barcelona 3, Brest 1

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

There’s no reason to eye the moneyline here. Barcelona (-650) is far too great of a favorite to play, especially coming off a loss to an inferior opponent.

Similarly, Brest (+1300) has yet to really play a top Champions League side and likely won’t be able to keep pace, and its rank in the Ligue 1 further suggests that reality.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (-125).

Barcelona plays a fast and high-tempo style of play, and it has averaged 3.00 goals per game in league action. It has scored at least 3 goals in 7 of its last 9 games. Surprisingly, Barcelona’s defense has also struggled, allowing 6 goals over its last 4 matches.

Brest has gone Over this total in its last 2 matches and has allowed 6 goals in its last 2 matches to sides not as lethal offensively as Barcelona. Brest has given up at least 2.5 expected goals to opponents over its last 2. At the same time, it has scored at least 2 goals 3 times in its last 5 games.

Considering those trends, back OVER 3.5 (-125).

Paris St. Germain at Brest odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Friday’s Paris St. Germain at Brest odds and lines, with Ligue 1 picks and predictions.

In the third weekend of Ligue 1 action, Paris St. Germain (2 wins, 0 losses, 0 draws) will take on Brest (0-0-2) Friday, with a 3 p.m. ET kickoff at Stade Francis-le Blé. Below, we preview the Paris St. Germain vs. Brest odds and lines, and make our best Ligue 1 bets, picks and predictions.

PSG is hot out the gate but third in the table by goal differential. So far this season, PSG has taken down Strasbourg and Troyes. However, they haven’t looked overly impressive in beating Strasbourg 4-2 and Troyes 2-1.

Neymar and Lionel Messi have both yet to play this season. Messi has begun training with the team and there’s hope he’ll make his debut soon but it won’t be against Brest.

Brest drew with both Lyon and Rennes. It finished 17th in the table last season while PSG finished second.

Prediction

Paris St. Germain 3, Brest 1

Money line (ML)

“LEAN” to PARIS ST. GERMAIN (-370) as the better bet, but there’s one that should be taken over that as well since the price for this is extremely high.

Tipico is offering a prop for both teams to score at -140. Each team scored in all four games the two teams have played this season.

While PSG has an elite attack led by a few of the best players in the world, its defense has been far from as dominant, giving up 3 goals through the first two games.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the OVER 3.5 (+100) as there’s no other team in the world with the scoring capability of PSG.

While we don’t know yet if Neymar will make the trip, we do know F Kylian Mbappé has been playing and should suit up. He has 1 goal and 2 assists through two games.

PSG scored 86 goals and gave up 28 across 38 games last season. That’s an average of 3.0 total goals per game but look for it to top that figure Friday.
