One of the most in-form teams in Europe's top five leagues, Paris Saint Germain will be looking to book their place in the French Cup final when they take on Dunkerque away on Tuesday.
Dunkerque came from two goals down to beat Brest 3-2 in the quarter-finals, while PSG booked their place in the semi-finals with a comfortable 7-0 win at Stade Brioschin.
Things have not gone the way the home side would have liked of late, as they have lost each of their last three games in Ligue 2. Ferreira De Castro's men also conceded ten goals in that time, but will take heart from the fact that they have won two of their last three home games.
PSG's only defeat since 24 November came at the hands of Liverpool in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie. Les Blues made it eight wins in a row in Ligue 1 with a 6-1 win over St Etienne last time out and the bookmakers are backing them to secure another comfortable victory on Tuesday.
Dunkerque vs Paris Saint-Germain Betting Tips: PSG to win & 3.5 goals
One of the main reasons for Dunkerque's dip in form has been their defence. Les Maritimes go into Tuesday's game on a run of five consecutive games without keeping a clean sheet and have conceded 2+ goals in all but one of those games.
Paris Saint-Germain just can't stop scoring at the moment. The visitors scored three or more goals in seven of their last nine matches and the same number of games ended with 4+ goals.
- Best Tip: Over 3.5 goals
- Dunkerque vs Paris Saint-Germain prediction: 1-3

Paris Saint-Germain team news
Ousmane Dembélé, Vitinha, Gianluigi Donnarumma and Marquinhos were dropped from the XI that beat St Etienne in Ligue 1 last time out, and Enrique could name most of them again on the substitutes' bench on Tuesday.
Kang-in Lee missed that game with a foot injury, but the right-winger is the only injury concern for the visitors at the moment.
