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!"

Two sides that look set to be in the battle for European positions in Ligue 1 this season clash in the French top-flight on Sunday. Lyon will be looking to bounce back after suffering three straight defeats, while Lens will be looking to maintain their unbeaten start to the season.

Ligue 1 Preview

Lens and Lyon will both be among the leading contenders to battle for a position in the European spots this season. However, both sides come into this fixture in contrasting form, with the home side still maintaining their unbeaten record in Ligue 1.

It has been a reliable start to the season for Lens, and they currently sit fourth in the overall standings. They could go level on points with PSG this weekend, but they will need the side at the top of the standings to lose in order for that to happen. Lens will be targeting a Champions League place this season, and they have already shown that they have the quality required. They have won five of the eight games that they have played this term.

Lyon come into this fixture in pretty disappointing form, as they have lost each of their previous three fixtures in Ligue 1. The French side has dropped to sixth in the overall standings, and have won just four of the eight games that they have played this term. However, victory this weekend would put them back in the mix for the Champions League places.

Lyon’s most recent defeat came before the international break, as they were beaten 1-0 by PSG at home. The only goal in that fixture was scored after just five minutes, with Lionel Messi breaking the deadlock.

Lens vs Lyon Head to Head

Lyon has a pretty good overall record in this fixture, as they have avoided defeat in the previous five matches between the sides. During that run, they have recorded three wins and have been held to two draws. The last win for Lens in this fixture came back in August 2014.

Lens vs Lyon Prediction

The overall record may favour Lyon this weekend, but the way that Lens has started the season make them our main fancy in this fixture. They have been reliable at both ends of the field, and we could see them picking up a famous 2-0 win this weekend.
