Brest finished third in the table last season with seven games lost, seven games draw and twenty games won, talking about Brest relegation is actually too early because the only lost two matches first and second they won the third one with 4-0 against saint Etienne although saint Etienne just came back from the relegation after been absent for two consecutive seasons, Brest winning against saint Etienne is a sign that they are ready to compete for the top three positions, regarding their match against PSG, if eventually they lost I will not mount blame on them because PSG is the strongest team in Ligue 1 who have won all their matches.
Losing two games and winning one is not a reason to conclude that Brest will be relegated. There are still many games to play and their convincing win against Saint Etienne shows that they can still come back from their drawbacks. Brest would have to step up their game if they want to make it in the UEFA Champions League, where they will be playing against top European clubs.

Considering Brest's season's performance and their recent will against Saint Etienne, we cannot conclude that PSG will have an easy win. This game will be a good test for Luis Enrique's side since they have not faced a strong team this season.

Although Brest last season finished in third place and will play in the Champions League this season but still, that does not mean Brest is a team that has above-average quality in Ligue 1. Because after all, basically Brest is only a mediocre team and every season more often struggles in the middle of the standings. So, Brest success last season still cannot be used as a guarantee for Brest to get the same good  results this season as last season. At least, with two defeats at the beginning of this season is also proof,  that Brest is not a team that always manages to compete in the upper zone in the Ligue 1 standings.

Moreover, for the next match Brest will play away against PSG and of course PSG will still target victory because PSG will play at home too. But indeed, even though Brest is not a team that has above-average quality, but I also believe that Brest still has the ability to be able to compete strongly in the middle of the standings. Thus, Brest will still have a good chance to stay in Ligue 1 and not be relegated but for the results in the Champion League, ofcourse there is no chance for Brest in the Champion League.
