They have had a bit of a tougher season in Ligue 1 and find themselves 8th in the league 2 points off conference league qualification and 6 points off the champions league spots.

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Predicted Line-Up: Thibaut Courtois, Ferland Mendy, Antonio Rudiger, Raul Asencio, Federico Valverde, Luca Modric, Aurelien Tchouameni, Rodrygo, Jude Bellingham, Brahim Diaz, Kylian Mbappe

Coming into this new season of the Champions League Real Madrid would’ve expected to be not just in the top 8, but probably first and up there with Liverpool and Barcelona who have already qualified for the round of 16. Instead, they are currently 16th with 12 points having won 4 games and losing 3, losing to Liverpool, AC Milan and a shock defeat to Lille in the second match week this season. A win in this game is vital for the Madristas are they to squeeze through into the automatic qualification spots but they will find it difficult away to a Brest side who have the same goal. Real have had a much better time domestically as they sit top of LaLiga and clear of second place by 4 points. They have won the last 4 games and their most recent loss came in the Spanish Super Cup final where they got beat 5-2 off El Clasico rivals Barcelona. It goes without saying that Real Madrid have the quality to win this game with quality scattered across the pitch with the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham, Luca Modric and more.
