Brest v PSV Eindhoven: Prediction and Tips

Brest are flying high in the new-look UEFA Champions League, but they could be pegged back by an in-form PSV side who look a good bet to push into the automatic qualification places.

Competition regulations mean that Brest are being forced to play their home matches in the competition 100km away in Guingamp.

However, they have made a decent fist of it, beating Sturm Graz 2-1 at their adopted home and following it up with a 1-1 draw with German champions, Bayer Leverkusen.

Now though, they face a PSV side who are in fantastic form and they may find the Dutch giants too hot to handle.

PSV to win & both teams score - 3/1

Brest start this round of UEFA Champions League fixtures in 9th spot and a place in at least the play-offs looks within their grasp, but they could be edged further away from the top eight and automatic qualification with a defeat to Dutch champions PSV.

The French side are being forced to play away at Guingamp as their home ground doesn't meet UEFA specifications for this competition and, although it hasn't troubled them too much so far, their domestic form has taken a hit due to their European exertions.

Les Pirates have lost five of their last seven matches, so enter this crucial contest with confidence likely to be at a low ebb.

They were well beaten 3-1 by Lille last time out and they also conceded the same number of goals in a 3-0 defeat at Barcelona on matchday five of this competition.

In fact, they have conceded three goals in four of their last five fixtures and a familiar outcome looks likely on Tuesday.

However, eight of Brest's last 10 matches in all competitions have seen both teams get on the scoresheet, so a PSV win with at least one goal for the home side looks the best bet.

PSV to win 3-1 - 16/1

PSV are nine points clear in the Dutch Eredivisie and they have been scoring goals for fun against allcomers this season.

The Dutch champions have bagged 56 goals in the league this term and they have lost just once in the process.

They will head to France full of confidence this week and they could return home with a 3-1 win to show for their efforts.

Peter Bosz's men have bagged at least three goals in seven of their last eight matches and, with Brest's deficiencies in defence already highlighted, another triple strike for the Dutch looks well within reach.

PSV are unbeaten in their last seven meetings with French sides and they could extend that sequence on Tuesday.

Ismael Saibari to score at any time - 3/1

Goals have been easy for PSV to come by this season, but it has been a team effort and they have shared around their glut of goals this term.

Livewire forward Ricardo Pepi has 10 goals in 14 league appearances, while Guus Til, Malik Tillman and Luuk de Jong have six each, but there may be a value alternative when looking for an anytime goalscorer bet.

Attacking midfielder Ismael Saibari is 3/1 to score on Tuesday and the Morocco international looks a decent pick to continue his fine form.

Saibari has scored six goals this season, but five of those have come in his last five outings.

Each of PSV's last two matches have featured a goal double from the Moroccan and those two fixtures were against PSV's title rivals Utrecht and Twente, so Saibari looks a good bet to continue his hot scoring streak in another important fixture.
