# Ligue 1 preview: PSG in high spirits ahead of match against struggling Brest ## Brest look to end winless run against league leaders Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will be looking to extend their winning streak in Ligue 1 when they travel to the Stade Francis-Le Blé to face Brest on Saturday. The capital club have had a brilliant start to the season, winning all five of their games so far and scoring 15 goals in the process. They will be confident of adding to that tally against a Brest side that has lost three of their five matches and is yet to pick up a win this campaign. ## Hosts Brest hope to harness home advantage Brest will be hoping to cause an upset and pick up their first win of the season against a PSG side that dispatched Montpellier 5-2 last weekend. The hosts will be looking to take advantage of the home crowd and make it difficult for PSG to play their usual free-flowing football. ## A clash of contrasting momentum PSG will be looking to continue their fine form and maintain their place at the top of the table. They will be confident of beating Brest, who have not won any of their last five matches. A win for PSG would see them extend their lead at the top of the table to five points, while a defeat for Brest would leave them rooted to the bottom of the standings. ### PSG boosted by Messi, Neymar, and Mbappé PSG will be boosted by the return of Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Kylian Mbappé, who were all rested for their Champions League match against Juventus in midweek. The trio will be looking to add to their impressive goal tally this season and help PSG secure another victory. ### Brest without key players Brest will be without several key players for the match against PSG. Jeremy Le Douaron, Mathias Lage, and Christophe Hérelle are all suspended, while Islam Slimani is a doubt with a knock. The hosts will need to find a way to cope without these players if they are to have any chance of beating PSG. ## Conclusion PSG will be confident of beating Brest and extending their winning streak in Ligue 1. However, Brest will be looking to cause an upset and pick up their first win of the season. The match is sure to be an entertaining one, with both teams looking to play attacking football.
