Football Predictions
Round of 32 of the French Cup at the Bollaert-Delelis in Lens: this Sunday at 9pm Lens and PSG will face each other. A key match in a competition which in this round still sees fourth or fifth division teams competing, and which will probably also feature surprising clashes in the round of 32 and round of 16.
There is a technical gulf between Lens and PSG and PSG's latest results don't seem to give the hosts any hope but there is reason for the Sang-et-Or to still hope in progressing to the next round.
Compared to last season, the Belgian Will Still is on the bench, a coach who is achieving good results and who at the helm of Reims had often put PSG in difficulty: 3 draws in 4 matches at the helm of an even weaker group. Furthermore, Lens is coming off a good period characterized by three wins in five matches, and if the second place of a couple of years ago remains a mirage, for a team like this to regularly qualify for the European cups, or try, is a great deal.
PSG has recovered from the Champions League disappointments in recent weeks by beating Salzburg, Monaco and Lyon in order. He appears to be the big favourite, but anything can happen in a dry fight.
