As the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France come to an end with the RC Lens-PSG poster, the bookmakers have already established their hierarchy for the final coronation. Even before knowing whether it will qualify, defending champion Paris SG is the big favorite with odds of 1.25, demonstrating the operators' confidence in the capital club, holder of the record for victories in the competition. .
Behind PSG, we find a duo made up of Olympique de Marseille and AS Monaco, both offered at odds of 8. The Phocéens, who will first have to get rid of LOSC Lille in the round of 16, n have not lifted the trophy since 1989. The Monegasques, also engaged in a tough duel against Stade de Reims, will try to win a sixth title in the competition.
Behind the favorite PSG, there are many contenders
LOSC completes the top quartet with a rating of 10, followed by Olympique Lyonnais at 14, despite its results on alternating current. OGC Nice, which will have to travel to Corsica, in sixteenths on the lawn of Bastia (Ligue 2) appears as a credible outsider with a rating of 16. Further in the hierarchy, RC Lens is offered at 20, while the Stade Brestois, which plays on all counts and which will have to face FC Nantes in the 16th, is at 25.
Bookmakers thus seem to favor the experience of the big clubs in this direct elimination competition, where surprises are not rare.
