French Cup Preview

PSG will be back in action on Friday evening, as they look to regain the French Cup. The Parisians last won this competition in the 2020-21 season, as they landed their 14th honour. However, they will certainly have questions to answer this weekend, as they were beaten for the first time domestically in their previous fixture. PSG was beaten 3-1 away from home against Lens on New Year’s Day, which saw their unbeaten record in France come to an end. Their lead at the top of the Ligue 1 standings remains a healthy one, but a second straight defeat could lead to questions surrounding the manager. But, the Parisians have been dominant throughout recent history at this stage of the competition. This will be a big moment in the history of Chateauroux, as they welcome PSG to town for the French Cup tie. They currently sit 14th in National, after winning just four of their 16 games this term. Their form over their previous five games has been sketchy to say the least, as they haven’t won over that period. However, they came through the previous round in excellent fashion, as they beat Lege-Cap-Ferret 4-1 away from home. Florian Bianchini, Ferris N’Goma, and Celal Bozkurt were among the scorers in that win. Their best-ever showing in the competition came in 2003-04, as they were beaten in the final by PSG.

Chateauroux vs PSG Head to Head

The only previous competitive meeting between the sides came in the 2004 French Cup final. On that occasion, PSG claimed victory following Pedro Pauleta’s strike with just 25 minutes remaining.

Chateauroux vs PSG Prediction

This should be a testing fixture on the road for PSG, but it remains extremely difficult to see past the reigning French champions. PSG look to be the best bet to win this game, and they could claim a 3-0 win on the road. Make sure to bet on Chateauroux vs PSG with 22Bet!"

Athletic Bilbao will be looking to maintain their strong start to the 2022-23 season this weekend, as they host Espanyol. As for the visitors, they will be looking for a first victory of the new campaign to move away from the relegation places.

 

La Liga Preview

Athletic Bilbao certainly look more than capable of challenging for a European place this term, based on the performances that we have seen from them already this campaign. They currently sit fourth in the La Liga standings after winning two of their opening three league fixtures.

Bilbao are one of two sides in the Spanish top-flight yet to concede a goal in the league, and they have found the back of the net on five occasions. Bilbao maintained their excellent start to the new season on Monday evening, as they picked up a dominant 4-0 win on the road against Cadiz. Gorka Guruzeta scored twice in that victory, while Inaki Williams and Alejandro Berenguer Remiro also found the target.

Espanyol certainly would have been disappointed with their performances at the start of the new season, as they find themselves down in 16th place in the league standings. They are yet to win a league fixture in three attempts this term, and have conceded seven goals already, which is the second worst defensive record in the Spanish top-flight.

After drawing on the opening day, Espanyol have lost each of their previous two fixtures in La Liga. The most recent of those defeats came at home against Real Madrid. They looked to have got a draw from the reigning European champions, but Madrid scored twice in the dying embers of the game. Joselu scored Espanyol’s goal, while Benjamin Lecomte was sent off in the 96th minute, which means he will be missing for this fixture.

Athletic Bilbao vs Espanyol Head to Head

Athletic Bilbao are unbeaten in five matches against Espanyol. However, they have recorded just two victories during that run. One of those victories came in this exact fixture last season, as they won 2-1. However, three of the previous five matches have ended in 1-1 draws.

Athletic Bilbao vs Espanyol Prediction

Espanyol’s poor start to the new season makes it very hard to see them knocking off an opponent that are yet to concede a goal this term. The preference is for the home side to pick up a third straight win, and we could see them scoring over 2.5 goals.
