Chateauroux vs PSG Prediction & Betting Tips - French Cup

Prediction published on 04/01/2023, 10:31  by Daniel Ngulu in French Cup Prediction

French giants PSG will welcome a break from Ligue 1 action to travel to third tier side Chateauroux in the French Cup on Friday. Hosts Chateauroux aren’t doing so well in the season and they come into this game without a win in the last four matches, having lost two of them. They have conceded two or more in three of their last four matches and have no clean sheet in their last five matches across all competitions. Four of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals. In the National 1 league, Chateauroux are in the relegation zone, with just 18 points from 16 matches and here they face one of the best sides in Europe. This will be a big task for them.

PSG have welcomed back Lionel Messi from his extended break after the 2022 World Cup and the Argentine is expected to play a part in this game as he seeks fitness ahead of league action. Coming from a 3-1 loss to Lens in the league, PSG will welcome this type of opposition, and it is expected a number of key players will be rested. Having scored two or more goals in seven of their last eight matches, PSG will seek to recover from the loss in Ligue 1. They have managed one clean sheet in eight matches across all competitions and here they will be hoping to improve on that. PSG’s matches have been high scoring, with eight of the last 10 returning over 2.5 goals.
