Les Herbiers – PSG Soccer Prediction of the day
A new Cinderella story takes place in the final of the French Cup. The modest Les Herbiers, club of the third division gala faces PSG, which is looking for its fourth consecutive Cup title, in one of the most emotional games of what remains of the season in European football. Les Herbiers is 11th in the Ligue National, the third French division. Stephane Masala leads a team that has broken all odds since eliminating the modest Romorantin in the 64th finals in December. The Angouleme (after an extension) and Saint Lo Manche (already in the round of 16) fell before they humiliated Auxerre at home by 0-3 in the round of 16. In the quarterfinals, the opponent was the Lens, who won on penalties, and in the semifinals, defeated too modestly another modest, Chambly Thelle (2-0).
With the illusion put in this match, Les Herbiers has not been neglected in the league, winning his three matches at home, and tying two of the three he has played as a visitor.
Eleven probable: Pichot – Hery, Dequaire, Fofona, Pagerie – Elckmayer, Flochon, Bongongui, Rocheteau – Dabasse, Florian David.
PSG regained the title in Ligue 1, crushing the second classified and previous champion, AS Monaco, last Sunday (7-1). The Parisian team has 87 points (28 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses in 32 games), with an advantage of 17 points over the current champion and 24 over Olympique Marseille.
Weeks ago, those of Emery added the title of the Cup of the League defeating precisely the Monegasque set 3-0. The Parisian side added 9 consecutive victories since losing to Olympique Lyon (2-1). That defeat hardly had transcendence compared with the hard European elimination before the Real Madrid (3-1 in Madrid, 1-2 in Paris). In the group stage of the Champions League, the capital had scored 5 goals in the first 5 games played, including the 3-0 first leg match against Bayern Munich in the Parc des Princes. Precisely the Germans defeated them 3-1, with which the Emery maintained the position of privilege. However, in the round of 16 the team fell to Real Madrid, which coincides with the injury of Neymar Jr. has left the Parisians with a bitter feeling this season.
Kylian Mbappe missed Sunday’s game and is doubtful for this game in which his new team will rotate.
Eleven Probable: Areola – Alves, Yuri, Thiago Silva, Marquinhos – Verratti, Diarra, Rabiot – Draxler, Mbappe, Cavani.
There is no option for Les Herbiers to compete against the best team in France, but they will certainly give everything to stay alive in the game as long as possible. The bookmakers give clear preference to the team of Emery, who must win without problems and close this new title giving a beating to the modest team of National. The prognosis is that the PSG will win and they will score more than 4.5 goals in this unequal match in which the scenario will weigh heavily on the most modest.
Prediction of the Day: Over 4.5 goals
