Barcelona – Brest Predictions and Preview

• On Saturday, Barcelona faced Celta Vigo and had to play with ten men after four minutes of mayhem. They conceded twice and drew 2-2. This was their first draw of the season, and they missed an opportunity to bounce back after the surprise 1-0 loss at Real Sociedad before the international break.
• Now, Barcelona is focused on staying in the top eight of the UEFA Champions League (UCL), where they currently sit after three consecutive victories by a margin of three or more goals. They lost their opening game, but they have since recovered to win three more by that same margin.
• For the first time ever, they will face Brest. Barcelona knows they have the chance to become the fifth team to win at least four consecutive games by a 3+ goal margin in this competition. They have scored 25 goals in their last six games at the temporary home of Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, suggesting they could make history.
• Brest are not easy opponents. They start this round in the top four of the league phase table and are one of six teams yet to lose in this UCL campaign (W3, D1). Extending their winning streak would be a remarkable achievement for them, especially considering this is their first-ever European campaign.
• Their recent form is not inspiring. They have won just once in the last four games (L3), and a 3-2 defeat to Monaco on Friday leaves them closer to the relegation spots than the top six in Ligue 1. However, a positive start here could calm their nerves. The Pirates have scored a first-half goal in each of their four UCL matches so far.
• Players to watch:
• * Raphinha has contributed 15 goals (G8, A7) in his last nine club games, including a hat-trick in Barcelona’s last home UCL match against Bayern Munich.
  * Abdallah Sima could be Brest’s best hope. He scored their first goal against Monaco and has three goals in three UCL games this season.
• Hot stat: Barcelona have scored nine goals in the 31-60 minute period in this UCL campaign, but Brest have conceded just once in that period.
