Granville vs Bourg-Peronnas Betting Tips

A 2-1 home win over Ligue 2 Laval saw CFA 2 side Granville into the Round of 16 in the Coupe de France. It’s tough to believe that they have another terrific result in them, but this is a team that has played well all season long and looks like a promotion candidate in their own division. Their previous fixture was a 1-1 draw with Guingamp II and they trail only Rennes II in the league table. Home field can of course count for a lot in these games.

Bourg-Peronnas are perhaps unexpected favourites to make a Coupe de France quarter-final, by a pretty good margin too. The mid-table Ligue 2 team will look to avoid Laval’s fate, they have a terrific 3-1 away victory over Rennes in the previous round to lean back on. They’re win-less in four games since that brilliant cup performance, most recently losing back-to-back games against Tours and Brest.

Head-to-Head

We can’t find any previous meetings between these two teams, which isn’t surprising considering the gulf in standard between the two clubs.

Reason for Betting Tips

An upset pick is always tempting, especially considering Bourg-Peronnas’ league form. Still, there is a significant standard difference between the levels that these two teams play at and we can’t help but back the Ligue 2 team to take care of business on this occasion. A 1/2 betting line doesn’t yield a great profit, but in games between two unknowns, it’s not necessarily a bad thing to take the safe line to guarantee a win.
