Le Mans vs PSG prediction 04.02.2025 | Coupe de France

• Competition: Coupe de France, 1/8 Finals
• Date: Tuesday, 4th February, 2025
• Kickoff: 20:10 UK / 21:10 CET
• Venue: Stade Marie-Marvingt (Le Mans)

On Tuesday evening, a third-tier team, Le Mans, will welcome the best team in France in the Coupe de France 1/8 Finals at Stade Marie-Marvingt in Le Mans.

Le Mans are playing their fifth consecutive season in the National Championnat, where they were mostly in the middle of the league's table. This season, they had a poor start but are getting better as the season progresses. Now, they are one of the hottest teams in the league and are in sixth place with 26 points - three points away from the playoffs for the Ligue 2.

PSG have been a dominant force in France recently, winning ten titles in the last 12 years. They also won seven Cup titles during that period! This season, they are by far the biggest favorite to win both the league and the cup, and they are playing great. Right now, the bookies offer odds on them winning the cup title around 1.45, while their odds for the league title are 1.01. That is not a surprise, considering they already have 13 points advantage over the second-placed Marseille.

Le Mans vs PSG pick: PSG to win and cover the -2 AH spread

Le Mans are in good form, as they are unbeaten in the last nine games. However, they only faced teams around their level, which are nowhere near as good as PSG. Even in the Cup, they only faced teams from the third tier or lower.

PSG are on a 14-game unbeaten run and have faced great teams. They had big wins against teams like Monaco, Lyon, Manchester City, Stuttgart etc. During that 14-game streak, they managed to score 35 goals - 2.5 per game. So, even if they rotate the squad for this game, we expect a big win.

Simply put, the difference in quality is too great, and anything but a massive win for PSG would be a surprise for us.
