Player(s) to watch:

• Ludovic Ajorque has enjoyed a sublime run of form up front for Brest this season. He has been consistently finding the back of the net across all competitions and has accumulated eight goals and three assists in the process. Standing at 6‘6, Ajorque possesses a towering presence inside the box and is known for his finishing abilities. He has found the back of the net five times in the last eight games and will hope to do the same against the Los Blancos.
• Kylian Mbappe needs no introduction. He is considered to be one of the finest football players that has ever played the beautiful game. Mbappe seems to have found his rhythm at Madrid after a slow start. The French international is fresh off a match-winning hat trick in the last game and has put the ball into the net 21 times across all competitions. Moreover, he has a fantastic record against Brest having scored nine goals in nine appearances against them.
