Brest host PSG on Sunday in the final game of the Ligue 1 season with the title in the balance for Mauricio Pochettino's side.

PSG are currently second in Ligue 1, only one point behind league leaders Lille. Mauricio Pochettino will know that his side can still win the title on goal difference, but it is no longer in their hands.

The Parisiens will go into the game off the back of winning the Coupe de France. PSG will need to win the game on Sunday to give themselves the best chance of winning the double this season.

Brest, on the other hand, are only a point above the relegation zone and will need to win to guarantee their survival this season.

Olivier Dall'Oglio's side are tied on points with Strasbourg and Lorient, only a point behind Reims and Bourdeaux in what is truly an extraordinary relegation scrap.

Brest have been in terrible form, having won only two of their last 14 games domestically.

However, with Strasbourg playing Lorient on the final day, Dall'Oglio's side could potentially survive even if they do lose against PSG on Sunday.

This fixture is important to both teams for different reasons, but PSG are the clear favorites to win the game on Sunday.


Brest vs PSG Head-to-Head

As expected, PSG have dominated the head-to-head record between the two sides, winning their last five league games against Brest.

Pochettino's side have a chance of beating Brest for the third time this season, having already won 3-0 in the Coupe de France and in the reverse fixture earlier this season.
