FRENCH CUP ......PARIS ST GERMAIN - VALENCIENNES


These two met in the league just 17 days ago, at the Parc des Princes and the visitors earned their first away win of the season.


That defeat cost Guy Lacombe his job and he was immediately replaced by Paul le Guen, who is still looking for his first victory and goal, after 3 matches in charge.


PSG put up an improved display and were very unlucky, not to beat Sochaux ,at the weekend, creating a host of chances and being denied time after time, by an inspired display by the visiting goalkeeper.


Le Guen has named a strong squad tonight and is very keen to get that elusive, first win, out of the way. The league obviously takes precedence, but a victory will do wonders for PSG's confidence. It would be a disaster, if they were to lose to the league's worst away side (1-1-10), for a second time inside 3 weeks.


As you might expect, they dominated the earlier fixture, with 57% possession and 16 attempts on goal, with a little more luck, they should take the spoils this evening.


5 points PSG -1/2 ball 1.75 betfair.


Good Luck.
