Manchester United vs Everton Prediction: FA Cup Final on 06.01.2023

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!"

There is a big gap between the top three and the remainder of the teams in the Portuguese Primeira Liga this season. Benfica will be looking to solidify their place in the top three over the final months of the season and will be looking to strengthen their hold against Braga on Friday.

Union Berlin vs FC Köln Prediction: Bundesliga Match on 01.04.2022

Portuguese Primeira Liga Preview

Benfica are six points behind Sporting Lisbon coming into this fixture, and are a distant 12 points off the current league leaders. However, their place in the Champions League this term already looks assured, as they boast a healthy advantage over Braga. That gap currently stands at 12 points coming into this fixture, and could be increased to 15 points with a win on Friday.

Benfica has won three of their previous four games in the league, and bounced back from a draw in their most recent fixture before the international break. That win came against Estoril Praia, as Rafa Silva and Goncalo Ramos scored the goals. However, they will be keen not to get dragged into a scrap for a place in the top three over the final month or so of the season.

Braga will be aware that there is a very unlikely chance that they will be breaking into the top three this season, but they are likely to fight until the end of the season nevertheless. However, if they are to get a chance of overtaking Benfica, then their recent form will need to improve.

Braga has won just twice in their previous five league fixtures, and could be overtaken by Gil Vicente this weekend depending on results. They did end a three-game losing run in their last fixture, as they beat Portimonense 2-1 away from home.

Braga vs Benfica Head to Head

Benfica have won their last two games against Braga. Their latest victory against their opponents this weekend was a 6-1 thumping back in November. However, Braga’s home record against Benfica is very underwhelming, as they have gone six without victory.

Braga vs Benfica Prediction

This is a huge match in the contexts of the season for both sides. However, Benfica have an exceptional away record in this fixture, having won on their last six visits. We could see that run carrying on this weekend, and struggle to see past Benfica taking the points given the form that both sides have been in recently.
