PSG will host Valenciennes at Parc des Princes in the quarterfinal game of Ligue Cup. The guest have a better status on the standings but the hosts improved their form significantly and they will start this match after a series of three consecutive wins.

Can PSG move on to the semifinals of the Ligue Cup?

Team from the capital of France have the best score away this season, even better than Lyon. The players led by Pauleta were trying for the whole first part of the season to mark a triumph at home and they managed to do this only last weekend when they beat Lens. Hosts used the fact that Lens were fighting to survive so they managed to mark a convincing triumph – after 90 minutes of play it was 3:0 for the Saints.

Players of PSG are starting this match filled with self-confidence and eager to mark a second win in a row at their stadium. About a year ago, they managed to beat Valenciennes and in the French Cup, and the fans believe that the team could repeat the good play from the last three matches. Manager Le Guen will be able to count on the defender Mendy who will be back on the field after a month break.

Valenciennes will try to mark the third away triumph this season…

Last season, Valenciennes managed to survive in the strongest league of France and ended up 17th. This season they are the most pleasant surprise of the championship. They haven’t got a single defeat at home and thanks to such good play at home they are 4th at the moment. The team are not so solid away – seven defeats and only one win in the championship and one in the cup. Last away triumph they marked two months ago when they beat Rennes in Ligue Cup.

Last season Valenciennes marked one victory and one defeat at Parc des Princes. They were defeated in the cup and they will definitely go for revenge against the Saints. Team should be stronger since defender Rippert and attacker Diau will play.

Betting Verdict

PSG are in excellent series of three consecutive wins, while Valenciennes play weak away. The bookies favour the hosts and we also believe that PSG could mark a triumph in this match and so prolong their series of good results. Skip betting on goals cause anything can happen in this match
