🧠 Prediction

For this match, we think that Barcelona can and should be able to create a decent number of chances and shots on target.

In contrast, Brest will not find it easy getting on the scoresheet but do we see them seeing enough of the ball to score, too.

We’re therefore anticipating a pretty comfortable 3-1 winning margin for Barcelona when the full-time whistle blows.
