The Coupe de France has reached the last 16 stage, and one of the more interesting ties of the round could well be PSG hosting Brest at the Parc des Princes.
The reigning French champions head into this game unbeaten in 14 games in all competitions since a 2-1 Champions League defeat against Milan last November.

In their last outing, the Parisians recorded a 2-1 Ligue One win over Strasbourg to strengthen their position at the top of the French top flight.
PSG have been characteristically prolific in front of goal of late, as they have scored at least two goals in their last seven outings in all competitions.
Their recent record in the Coupe de France has been strong, as the French champions head into this clash on the back of four wins in their last five games.
While the home side may be in good form, the visitors have also built up some positive momentum recently.
Will Still’s team have now picked up back-to-back draws against Ligue One’s top two teams. They followed up a 2-2 draw at PSG with a goalless draw against Nice last time out.
The two draws have contributed to Brest mounting an 11-game unbeaten run in all competitions.
One of the main reasons for the visitor’s recent strong form has been their defensive displays, as Brest has kept clean sheets in six of their last eight outings.
Brest has a decent recent record in the Coupe de France, winning three of their previous four games in the competition. Last time out in the Cup, they recorded a 2-1 win at lower league Trelissac.
Forebet predicts that PSG will record a narrow victory in a low-scoring encounter.
