Brest’s Predicted Lineup Against PSG: Strategic Changes for Champions League Clash

Stade Brestois faces a daunting challenge as they head to the Parc des Princes, aiming to overcome a 3-0 deficit against Paris Saint-Germain in their bid to reach the Champions League Round of 16. Despite the odds, Brest’s head coach Eric Roy remains optimistic, stating, “It’s within our capabilities.”

Roy is expected to field a lineup similar to their previous match at Stade de Roudourou, with a few key changes. Mama Baldé is set to replace Abdallah Sima, partnering with Ludovic Ajorque in the attack. Ajorque, while leading the scoring charts for Brest in Ligue 1, has yet to find the net in European competition.

A notable change in midfield sees Romain Faivre, who started in the advanced role in the first leg, likely to be benched. Roy is opting for Kamory Doumbia in this crucial position, hoping to inject fresh energy into the team’s midfield dynamics.

Brest’s Anticipated Starting XI vs PSG:

Marco Bizot; Massadio Haïdara, Soumaïla Coulibaly, Brendan Chardonnet, Kenny Lala; Hugo Magnetti, Pierre Lees-Melou, Mahdi Camara; Kamory Doumbia; Ludovic Ajorque, Mama Baldé.

This lineup reflects Roy’s tactical adjustments as Brest prepares for one of their most challenging matches of the season, seeking to create a historic upset in the Champions League.
