Espaly vs PSG Prediction & Betting Tips (15 January)

The match of a lifetime presents itself for FC Espaly, resident of National 3, equivalent to the fifth division of French football. The Haute-Loire club won the right to play this gala match after eliminating FC Biars-Bretenoux Régional 1 in the previous rounds; 1-0, US Couzeix Regional 2; 0-3 and Dijon National 1. He obtained a qualification on penalties against the Dijonnais 1-1, 4-3, superiors of two divisions. Espaly went to Bourgoin-Jallieu 1-1 on Saturday. It is 12th in the ranking behind the reserve team of Saint-Etienne and Lyon in particular. PSG, undisputed leader of Ligue 1 and the most successful club in the history of the Coupe de France with its 15 crowns, is the defending champion.

The capital club entered the competition in the 32nd finals before the end of year break and qualified against Lens on penalties 1-1, 3-4 tab. Luis Enrique's team have since won the Champions Trophy against Monaco in Qatar 1-0. She then resumed her career in Ligue 1 with a success, Sunday on home pitch against Saint-Etienne 2-1. Paris has won 5 of its last 6 matches in regulation time. 

Espaly relies on a squad that is strong in character but not experienced at the highest level. Unlike attackers Roussey and Fournel, authors of one goal each in the Coupe de France, Di Piazza is not one of his team's scorers in the competition. However, he stands out in National 3 with 4 achievements. The local club played its last round of the Coupe de France against Dijon with a five-defender system which should be used again against the Parisian ogre. For this poster, PSG travels without the young winger Mbaye (no goals), injured, and could still do without the unwanted Skriniar. Another undesirable, the offensive Kolo Muani, is about to sign on loan with Juventus. He is absent for this meeting to which Luis Enrique would probably not have called him. Forfeited on Sunday in Ligue 1, captain Marquinhos will not make the trip like Dembélé (10 goals in Ligue 1), the strong man of the moment, who is ill.

Luis Enrique should introduce a rotation of the squad in view of the next deadlines which await the capital club, Lens in Ligue 1 and Manchester City in the Champions League in less than a week. The 3rd goalkeeper Tenas is expected to guard the goal. Ramos has scored 4 goals since returning to competition at the end of November. The Portuguese scored in the previous round, in Lens. . The probable line-ups for Espaly - PSG: Espaly: Etienne - Allaigre, Ichane, Curt, Bendriss, Mezaber - Russo, Aït Boulaalam, Portal - Gjeci, Fournel.PSG: Tenas - Hakimi, Pacho, Beraldo, Zague - Zaire-Emery, Mayulu , Neves - Doué, Ramos, Lee (or Barcola).
