Stade Briochin vs PSG prediction: FRANCE: Coupe de France betting tips on match 2025-02-25 20:10.
[p]After stunning Ligue 1 outfit Nice in the last round of the Coupe de France thanks to a 97th-minute winner, Stade Briochin’s reward in the quarter-final comes in the form of a showdown with reigning French top-flight champions PSG, in what is arguably the biggest match in the club’s history. With little to lose, the Championnat National 2 outfit – the fourth tier of French football – will look to write themselves into the history books and cause one of the biggest shocks in the competition’s history. [/p]
[p]That seems seriously unlikely on paper and it becomes even more of a challenge as Briochin are forced to play this fixture at the home of Rennes 100km away. That’s due to inadequate infrastructure at Stade Fred Aubert, though their supporters will be hoping that their side can replicate their recent form on their own patch at this temporary home, having lost just one of their last eight there (W6, D1), including that win over Nice. [/p]
[p]PSG arrive here in scintillating form, winning each of their last eight competitive matches as they remain on track for a Ligue 1, Coupe de France, UEFA Champion League treble this campaign. The Parisians beat fierce rivals Lyon 3-2 away from home at the weekend to push themselves 13 points clear at the Ligue 1 summit, with their stranglehold on football in the country remaining tight. [/p]
[p]The visitors have also enjoyed themselves in this competition in particular over the last decade, winning seven titles from the last ten on offer after they defeated Lyon 2-1 in the final last May. Not since February 2023 have the capital club lost in this competition, winning each of their nine Coupe de France ties since then and scoring a total of 29 goals in the process! [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Hugo Boudin may have only scored twice for Stade Briochin this season, but both goals came in his side’s victory over Nice in the last round. PSG’s Ousmane Dembélé took his seasonal goal tally to 24 over the weekend, with nine of his last 11 coming on the road. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: PSG’s last ten Coupe de France away matches have averaged 4.5 goals. [/p]
