Command Analysis
Barcelona
SpainCurrent form
In the Champions League, Barcelona started with an unexpected 1-2 away defeat to Monaco. However, it should be noted that in that match they had to play with ten men for more than half of the time. In the following matches, the Catalans did not allow themselves a single slip-up, played powerfully in attack, scoring 14 goals in three games. They defeated Young Boys (5-0), Bayern (4-1) and Red Star (5-2) in turn. With nine points scored, Hansi Flick team is in sixth place in the table.
In Primera, https://www.fcbarcelona.com/en target=_blank rel=noopener>Barcelona immediately made their claim to the title known, created a decent lead, including beating Real Madrid 4-0 away in El Clasico. However, there was a slight decline in the last rounds. First, there was a defeat away from Real Sociedad (0-1), and then a draw away from home with Celta (2-2), when the opponent came back from 0-2 down at the end. Nevertheless, the Catalans are still first in the La Liga standings, but the gap from Real Madrid has been reduced to four points.
Undoubtedly, after the unsuccessful match against Celta, Hansi Flick team will try to rehabilitate itself in the Champions League today and is unlikely to allow itself such a loss of concentration. It is impossible not to note how powerfully Barcelona plays in attack in the main European club tournament. Rafinha and Lewandowski stand out in attack, having managed to score five goals each.
Disqualifications and injuries
Araujo, Bernal, Fernan Torres, ter Stegen, Garcia, Christensen, Fati and Yamal will not play today due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Barcelona have scored at least three goals in their last seven Champions League matches
- In three of the previous four matches, the Catalans won in the first half
- Both teams have scored in nine of Barcelona last ten Champions League matches
Estimated line-up: Pena - Kunde, Kubarsi, Martinez, Balde - de Jong, Casado - Rafinha, Olmo, Gavi - Lewandowski.
Brest
FranceCurrent form
The debutant of the Champions League did not get lost among the best representatives of European football and after four rounds is unbeaten in fourth place in the table with 10 points. In general, so far Brest has not had the most difficult opponents. Perhaps, only Bayer can be noted, with whom a 1:1 draw was recorded. In the remaining matches, the Pirates defeated Sturm (2:1), Salzburg (4:0) and Sparta Prague (2:1). It cannot be said that the team plays reliably in defense, since they managed to play to zero in only one match.
In Ligue 1, Brest is not doing as well as on the international stage. The lack of experience and not the most decent depth of the squad to play powerfully both in the national championship and in the European Cup are clearly having an effect. After 12 rounds played, Eric Roy charges are in 12th place in the table, having earned a modest 13 points. For three rounds in a row, the "pirates" have lost, and in the last two matches they conceded three goals from Montpellier (1:3) and from Monaco (2:3).
Undoubtedly, Brest will try to play reliably in defense today, but there may be problems here. Captain Brendan Chardonnet is good in the center of defense. He is assisted by Koulibaly, but his appearance on the field is questionable due to injury.
Disqualifications and injuries
Today, Koulibaly, Favre and Aidar are in doubt as to whether they will take to the field due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- In three of the last four matches, Brest lost in the first half
- Brest have not drawn in their previous 13 matches in the Champions League and Ligue 1
- At least three goals have been scored in the last six matches involving the Pirates
Estimated composition: Bizot-Lala, Chardonnay, Le Cardinal, Amavi-Magnetti, Lis-Melu, Camara-Cima, Ajorque, Del Castillo.

2.70Tip and bets
Brest pleased its fans in the four opening rounds of the Champions League, and are still unbeaten, but we don't think that the "pirates" will be able to extend their unbeaten streak today. Barcelona allowed themselves only one misfire at the start in the European arena, in the match against Monaco, when they had to play with ten men for a long time. In the remaining matches, the Catalans easily secured three victories, all with an advantage of at least three goals. Rafinha and Lewandowski are on the move now, it is unlikely that Brest defense will cope with such an attack on the road, especially since in the last matches in Ligue 1 there were serious failures in the defense.
Our prediction is Barcelona victory with an Asian handicap (-2) at odds of 1.74
Bet on total
Barcelona have scored at least five goals in their last three Champions League games. Brest have conceded three goals in their previous two Ligue 1 games. There is a high probability that there will be a plethora of goals today, especially since the Catalans have not kept a clean sheet in four games in a row, taking into account all tournaments, and a goal from the visitors will not be a big surprise.
The second bet is total over 3.5 goals with odds of 1.90
Bet on the exact difference in the score
In two of the last four victorious matches, Barcelona won with a three-goal advantage. We believe that due to their superior class and taking into account their powerful attack, the Catalans will achieve another comfortable victory today.
Prediction: Barcelona win by three goals with odds of 4.70
