Treading lightly here looking for value plays (usually player props)
Brest/PSG - Leaning under here in a tight and cagey affair as knockouts usually go between league rivals who are VERY familiar w/ each other as they've faced off every season since 2019/2020. Last 6 matches between the two sides have seen 3+ goals, including their most recent match at the beginning of the month, which ended in a 2-5 victory for PSG at Brest. Naturally, you wouldn't think twice going w/ the over and PSG covering the -1.5 spread except Champions League form is NOT equivalent to domestic league form, and Europe has a knack for springing the unexpected. That being said, Brest limps into the playoffs after being shut out two straight to Real Madrid and Shakhtar while PSG tore off three straight victories starting in Salzburg, then that 4-goal 2H comeback against City, and ending w/ a dominant display over Stuttgart in Germany to save the embarrassment of not making it to the playoffs. That run has them flying high combined w/ Dembele's scintillating form of 16 goals in his last 10 matches including two hat tricks and a brace in his last three games. Not to mention, the Georgian wonderkid already seems to be loving life in Paris as he has fit seamlessly into that vaunted attack. Yet, I still can't pull the trigger on PSG to continue its' dominant form over Brest. Not when it'll be Brest's first ever showing in the knockouts at home. I saw what knockout qualification meant to the team and its' fanbase and you can bet that stadium will be rocking. Instead, I'm all over Romain Faivre's 2+ shots (+339), 1+ SOG (+300), and 2+ SOG (+1900). Those odds are usually attached to a defender, not a midfielder who is an integral part of Brest's attack. In fact, he had 2 SOG against PSG in their most recent affair, which by the way Brest actually equalled PSG on both shots (14) and SOT (7). He's familiar w/ PSG, having played in Ligue 1 since the 2018/19 season, and plays deep into matches when he does start. Was going to wait to see if he starts or not before placing these bets but rather get these in now before odds change 
.
Good luck!
if anything this will be good for our props as Brest will need to press the action here. They CANNOT afford to go to Paris at a disadvantage.
