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 have started the Ligue 1 season with contrasting fortunes meet in the French top-flight on Wednesday. Nice are still searching for a first league win of the season, while Lille could move into the Champions League positions with a victory in front of their home fans.

 

Ligue 1 Preview

Lille have enjoyed a strong start to the new French season, but any talk of a second league title in three seasons remains premature. The French side have won twice in their opening four league games, and come into this fixture in good confidence after picking up maximum points in their previous fixture.

Lille were commanding winners in their previous fixture, as they beat Ajaccio 3-1 away from home. Yusuf Yazici opened the scoring for the travelling side after 17 minutes, before Jonathan Bamba extended their advantage with a goal two minutes before the half time break. Tiago Djalo wrapped up the scoring for Lille with just over 20 minutes remaining, before Ajaccio pulled back a late consolation goal.

It hasn’t been the start to the season that Nice would have been hoping for, as the French side currently sits in the relegation places after suffering two defeats in their opening four league fixtures. They are still waiting for a first league win of the season, and have scored just two goals in the fixtures that they have played before this fixture.

A second league defeat in a row was suffered on Sunday, as Nice were hammered 3-0 at home by Marseille. Nice managed to record just two shots on target in that defeat, and were blown away inside the opening 45 minutes. Alexis Sanchez scored twice for the away side, while another former Arsenal player added the other goal, as Nuno Tavares opened his account for the French side.

Lille vs Nice Head to Head

Lille have lost just once in six previous fixtures against Nice. That defeat came in their home fixture against their opponents this week last season. However, Lille bounced back to win the return fixture 3-1 in May.

Lille vs Nice Prediction

Lille’s strong record in this fixture and the fact that they have started the new campaign in fine form ensure that they make a compelling case on Wednesday. It could be a third straight defeat for Nice, as they still look to find the right balance within their new look team for the 2022-23 season.
