Back this 13/2 Brest vs Real Madrid treble

Current holders Real Madrid look to sneak into the Champions League's automatic qualification spots when they face Brest on Wednesday evening.

Madrid currently sit 16th ahead of the final 'League Phase' fixtures, one point behind Bayer Leverkusen who occupy the final automatic qualifying position.

Meanwhile, hosts Brest find themselves one point ahead of the Spanish giants ahead of kick-off in France and are already guaranteed a spot in the play-offs, regardless of the result against the 15-time winners.

Selection #1 - Real Madrid to win

Los Blancos stumbled at the start of this season's Champions League, losing three of their opening five games in the competition.

Carlo Ancelotti's men have since regrouped though, recording back-to-back victories in their most recent European outings.

In fact, Real Madrid's have significantly improved overall in recent times.

Their 5-2 defeat to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final earlier this month is their only loss in their last 13 games.

Four consecutive victories in all competitions leaves them in a strong position to compete on all fronts once again.

Selection #2 - Kylian Mbappe over 1.5+ shots on target

Mbappe is now beginning to find his feet after initially struggling for form in the Spanish capital.

His hat-trick against Real Valladolid at the weekend leaves him with eight goals in his last five and he's no stranger to asserting his dominance against Wednesday's opponents.

The 26-year-old registered nine goals in 10 appearances against Brest during his PSG days and is averaging exactly two shots on target in the Champions League so far this term.

Given the French side have only kept two clean sheets in this competition, Mbappe will be confident of playing a major role once again at Stade Francis Le Ble.

Selection #3 - Ludovic Ajorgue to be shown a card

Only five players have committed more fouls than the Brest forward in the Champions League this season.

Ajorgue has already been shown three yellow cards in his six appearances in the competition, alongside the four he has to his name in Ligue 1.

With Madrid expected to dominate with large spells of possession, Ajorgue's frustration could get the better of him once again.
