Final Brest-Real Madrid Prediction and Selection
With both teams having already secured places in the knockout rounds, there is nothing to play for either team. Brest has a stronger reason to get an automatic bid for the round of 16. However, they would have to win, and five other teams would either lose, or add them to the goal difference. The passage of five teams, including Aston Villa and Bayer Leverkusen will be difficult. With Brest most likely fine with a draw in this game, while playing against Real Madrid who struggle to score on the road and a strong Brest defence, expect a low scoring game.
Final Brest-Real Madrid Prediction and Pick: Under 3.5 (-144)
