PSG will be looking to bounce back to winning ways after losing their previous game, but Chateauroux are unlikely to go down without a fight against the French champions. [banner][/banner]

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!"

The second week of Champions League action since it has resumed takes place this week. One of the standout sides from the group stages will be looking to continue their fine form on Wednesday evening, as they travel to Portugal to take on Benfica.

Champions League Preview

It could be a very exciting second half to the campaign for Ajax, as the Dutch side have impressed in the Champions League throughout this season. The Dutch champions breezed through the group stages, and are one of the dark horses to win the Champions League this term.

Ajax finished top of Group C in commanding fashion, as they finished with six wins from six. On paper, it looked to be a fairly difficult draw for the Dutch side, as they came up against Sporting Lisbon, Borussia Dortmund and Besiktas. However, they never looked in danger of elimination, as they scored a group high of 20 goals and allowed just five goals.

They picked up three victories in the games that they played away from home, which included a 5-1 win against Sporting Lisbon on their previous visit to Portugal earlier in the season.

Benfica produced one of the shocks of the group stages, as they managed to finish Group E in second place. The Portuguese side finished behind Bayern Munich, but a point clear of Spanish giants Barcelona.

They played incredibly well throughout the group stages, with their standout win coming against Barcelona in Portugal. It was their biggest European win in years, as they claimed a famous 3-0 success against the Catalonian giants. In the end, they finished a point ahead of Barcelona to reach the knockout stage.

Benfica vs Ajax Head to Head

Benfica picked up a win against Ajax in the first meeting played between the sides in 1969. However, since then, they are winless in their last six. Ajax have a fine record on the road in this fixture, as they are unbeaten in their last three. Benfica also have a poor record against Dutch sides, as they have picked up just two wins in their last eleven attempts.

Benfica vs Ajax Prediction

Ajax looks to have all the tools to go deep in the Champions League this season, and we struggle to see past them winning this fixture due to their excellent record against Benfica. A strong advantage in the tie could be claimed by the Dutch side on Wednesday.
