PSG are practically in the last 16 of the Champions League following their excellent 3-0 victory at the Stade du Roudourou last week but we still expect the hosts to put in maximum effort at home against Brest on Wednesday night.

PSG preview: In fantastic form
PSG went into last week's first leg against Brest having already beaten their hosts 5-2 in Ligue at the Stade du Roudourou.
A 21st-minute penalty from Vitinha handed PSG the lead in this Champions League tie and top scorer Ousmane Dembele added a second goal just before the halftime whistle. A third goal in the 66th minute from that man Dembele, ended any faint hopes of a late Brest comeback and secured PSG an excellent 3-0 lead heading into the second leg.
Midfielders Renato Sanches and Warren Zaire-Emery could both miss the second leg on Wednesday night through injury.
Predicted lineup: Donnarumma (GK), Marquinhos, Hakimi, Pacho, Mendes, Ruiz, Vitinha, Neves, Dembele, Barcola & Doue

Brest preview: A mountain to climb
Brest would have been expecting a tough 90 minutes at home to PSG last week but would have been hoping to come away with at least a draw to build upon.
However, PSG took their chances and Brest simply didn't as the French giants ran out comfortable 3-0 winners in the end, leaving Eric Roy's side without an almost impossible mountain to climb at the Parc des Princes this week.
Jonas Martin, Jordan Amavi and Romain Del Castillo are all doubts for the second leg, while midfielder Karamoko Dembele has been ruled out of the second leg due to injury.
Predicted lineup: Bizot (GK), Lala, Haidara, Chardonnet, Coulibaly, Lees-Melou, Faivre, Camara, Magnetti, Ajorque & Sima

Player to watch: Ousmane Dembele
Ousmane Dembele is easily enjoying the best goalscoring season of his illustrious career and we've selected the PSG star as our player to watch on Wednesday night.
Dembele, who has often played a more traditional winger role during his career, has scored 16 goals in Ligue 1 in just 20 appearances and has also scored seven goals in cup competitions, including six in the Champions League.
The French international is enjoying his best season in front of goal
We're backing Dembele to put in another impressive performance on Wednesday night just as he did in the first leg against Brest in which he scored two goals.
