Brest vs. PSG: how and where to watch - times, TV, online
All the information you need on how to watch Brest and PSG play their third Ligue 1 game of the 2020-21 campaign at Stade Francis-Le Ble on Friday 20th of August.
Paris Saint-Germain will play their third Ligue 1 match on Friday when they visit Brest. However, this will not be Lionel Messi's debut for the club. The Argentine attacker, who signed on a free transfer from FC Barcelona this month has been training with the team but does not seem to be match fit following his presentation to home fans at the Parc des Princes on Saturday.
For both teams, this will mark the 32nd time they face each other. Unfortunately, for Brest, the history is lopsided in favour of the Parisian outfit with PSG having won 17 times, while Brest has only won 3 games with 11 draws.
Will Lionel Messi make its debut?
On Thursday at a press conference, PSG coach Mauricio Pchetino stated, "We haven't decided the squad yet but will do so shortly. We will analyze whether he can be on the team. In terms of what Lionel Messi brings, everybody knows that. His presence here in terms of what he represents is something we have talked about a lot in recent days."
How they arrive to the match
Brest has begun the league with two draws and taking into account that they fought relegation last year, the team comes to the game in good spirits.
The Paris team is the heavy favorite to win the match with history pointing to an away win. PSG has won their first two games of the season, and star Lionel Messi has yet to make his debut, which signals the strength of their squad.
