Le Mans vs PSG prediction and betting tips on February 4, 2025

Game Prediction

On February 4, 2025, Le Mans will face PSG in the 1/8 final of the Coupe de France. This is one of the most imbalanced matchups at this stage, with the home team likely to struggle against the country’s strongest club.
Our prediction for the Le Mans vs PSG match:
Le Mans has previously played in Ligue 1 and reached the Coupe de France semifinals multiple times. However, after the club's bankruptcy in 2013, they have struggled to regain their top-flight status. They have, however, managed to rise back up to the third division, National, where they finished fifth in the previous season.
In contrast, under Luis Enrique, PSG maintained domestic dominance during the 2023/2024 season, reaching the semifinals of the UEFA Champions League. In the winter of 2024, after the controversial departure of Kylian Mbappé, PSG faced challenges in the Champions League, but a decisive win over Manchester City in January secured their qualification for the knockout stages. Domestically, they have managed to pull ahead of their competitors and secured the first trophy of the season, defeating Monaco in the Super Cup.
As for Le Mans, they have progressed to this stage of the cup, overcoming four opponents. Their most challenging opponent was Valenciennes, whom they defeated on penalties in the previous round. PSG, meanwhile, also needed penalties to get past Lens but managed to beat the almost amateur team, Espali-Sen-Marsel, 4-2 in the previous round.
Key Statistics and Trends:
- Le Mans: Has not lost in their last 9 matches.
- PSG: Won 10 of their last 11 matches, with a draw against Lens in the cup.
