While form on the continent has been excellent and exceeded expectations, Brest continue to struggle domestically, and they suffered a fourth defeat in five league matches on Friday.

Eric Roy, side were comfortably beaten 3-1 by fellow Champions League participants Lille, meaning they remain in the bottom half, closer to the relegation zone than the European spots.

In front of their own supporters, results and performances have been largely positive though, with just one defeat in eight as the designated home team since an opening day defeat to Marseille.

That included taking four points from their two games in Guingamp so far in the Champions League, beating Sturm Graz and drawing with Bundesliga holders Bayer Leverkusen.

A dream day out at Barcelona on matchday five ended in a 3-0 defeat for the Pirates, but with 10 points already to their name, progression already looks likely regardless of what happens in their final three matches.

However, if Roy’s side can secure victory, that will see them move into the top eight, playing before Wednesday’s fixtures, and with some of the sides around them facing each other.

Despite being below Brest in the 36-team standings, PSV are in scintillating form, and made it six wins in a row across all competitions by beating Twente 6-1 on Friday.

That comes after also beating second-placed Utrecht 5-2 a week earlier, opening up a healthy lead at the top, having scored 56 goals in just 15 Eredivisie matches so far.

Since losing to rivals Ajax, Peter Bosz’s side have scored 26 goals across those six wins, two of which have come in the Champions League – against Girona and Shakhtar Donetsk – leaving PSV with the chance to win three straight ECL games for the first time in over 18 years.

Victory over Girona was straightforward, but they needed a dramatic late comeback to see off Shakhtar on matchday five, 2-0 down on 87 minuts, but Malik Tillman’s double and Ricardo Pepi’s 95th-minute winner sent the Philips Stadion into rapture.

Those three points moved PSV into the top 24 for the first time in this season’s league phase, but their current tally of eight points will almost certainly not be enough to progress, so Bosz will target this game and a trip to Red Star Belgrade to get over the line, before facing Liverpool on matchday eight.
