The essential
After Troyes (2-1) and Strasbourg (4-2), Paris Saint-Germain is aiming for a third victory in as many Ligue 1 days, at the Francis-Le Blé stadium in Brest.
The Parisian group is however diminished: Lionel Messi, Neymar, Leandro Paredes (lack of condition), Sergio Ramos, Colin Dagba (injured) or Pablo Sarabia are among the absent.
Stade Brestois, 12th in the standings following its two draws in Lyon (1-1) and against Rennes (1-1), has not beaten PSG at home since January 1985.
