PSG inflicts historic bankruptcy on Stade Brest – coach compares to dentist!
Ligue 1 once again caused some excitement at the weekend. In the duel between Paris Saint-Germain and Stade Brest 29, the hosts suffered another painful defeat, which not only frustrated the fans, but also highlighted the long negative series against the top French club. On Saturday evening, the Stade Francis-Le Blé was sold out with 14,978 spectators, but that didn't bring any luck for the Brest players. PSG took the away trip home with a clear 3-0 (2-0) win, which means Brest's ninth home defeat in a row against the Parisians.
As the statistics show, Stade Brest now has the longest negative streak against a club in front of their own crowd in the history of Ligue 1. In the last nine games against PSG, they scored just 8 goals, while the Parisians sent a whopping 25 goals into the Brest net. The last draw between the two teams was over 14 years ago - in April 2011 the game ended 2-2. Since then, PSG has had the pants on, that's for sure.
Highlights of the game
Achraf Hakimi was the star of the evening and gave PSG a clear lead with his goals in the 29th and 39th minutes. Stade Brest coach Éric Roy had previously compared the challenge of playing against PSG to a visit to the dentist - increasingly painful and with no prospect of improvement. There was another low blow for Brest in the 59th minute when Romain Del Castillo missed a penalty. In stoppage time, Désiré Doué increased the score to 3-0 and thus sealed Brest's fate.
What's particularly striking is that Stade Brest haven't won against PSG in all competitions since January 1985 - a damning run of 33 games, including 8 draws. The matches last season also speak for themselves: PSG won the Champions League 3-0 and 7-0 – a real sellout for Brest.
A look at the statistics
The chances for the game were analyzed in advance. According to SportsMole, the probability of a PSG win was 55.53%, while Stade Brest was only given a 21.93% chance. The most likely final scores mentioned in forecasts were all in favor of the Parisians - which has now come true.
The balance sheet of the two teams is a clear signal for Brest, who will have to look for solutions after this game at the latest. “It's getting harder and harder to play against PSG,” said Roy, and fans are wondering when the vicious circle will end.
For PSG, however, the series remains positive and the players can prepare for the coming week. Hakimi is expected back on Thursday after a short break in training, while Brest will have to put their heads together to get out of this mess.
Analysis of the situation shows that Stade Brest urgently needs to find a new way to regain a foothold in the league. Paying attention to the statistics could help. For further information about Stade Brest and their season so far, visit Kicker.
