Niort vs PSG Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Niort have managed to put in a decent run of form in Ligue 2 recently, but their awful start to the season is still plaguing any hopes of promotion for them. They sit in a comfortable but unremarkable mid-table position, although if they can get back to their best there is still the hope of challenging towards the top.

In the Coupe de France they have only had to face lower league opposition so far, with Sarreguemines, Biagnac, Anglet Genets, and Stade Montois all being eliminated by their hands. However, the hosting of the reigning champions of France will present an entirely different challenge for them.

The visitors shocked the world a couple of weeks ago with a 4-0 battering of Barcelona in the first leg of their Champions League clash, and despite their rather rocky start to the season they have managed to get back on track and are challenging for the Ligue 1 title again.

They are still behind the fantastic Monaco, and after their draw at the weekend they are now six points adrift. However, with their upcoming Coupe de la Ligue Final against Monaco, means that they are still well in the hunt for a retention of their domestic treble.

PSG’s Coupe de France campaign could barely have gone any smoother. They battered Bastia 7-0 in their first match, and followed that with a marginally less impressive 4-0 win at Rennes, to take their tally to 11 goals from two games.

PSG have won both of their Coupe de France games without conceding so far, and ten of their last 14 games in all competitions have resulted in a clean sheet. This makes odds of 5/6 for PSG to Win to Nil look a promising option, so I’m backing that along with a 4-0 correct score predictions at 9/1.
