Le Mans vs Paris Saint Germain will take place at Stade Marie-Marvingt in the prestigious French Cup on February 4. Both teams will lock horns in the round of 16 of this competition.

Le Mans currently plays in the Championnat National which is the third division in France football system. This will be a big chance for them to show their quality against the best team in the country. Le Mans used to play in the top division years ago but after their relegation, they have been very poor as they haven’t been able to get back into Ligue 1 again. After many years they will face the team from Paris in a competitive game and surely their fans will also be very excited to see them play against top players.

In 18 games in National, they have won seven, drawn five, and lost six games. Currently, they are sitting at the sixth spot in the table and have 26 points on the board., they have scored 22 goals and conceded 22 goals and have zero goal difference in the league. French Cup has its own reputation and value and surely they will look to give their best to get a positive result.

Paris Saint Germain are flying in Ligue 1 as they have a lead of 13 points and are currently sitting at the top spot. Luis Enrique’s men are performing really well this season as they are getting good results consistently. French Cup does have its own challenges but it will not be a big problem for Enrique and his coaching staff as they will look to make some changes in the lineup and give minutes to those players who haven’t played many games this season. They do have Champions League matches in the next few days and will have to be prepared for that.

They have faced Le Mans a couple of times in the past but they always dominated this fixture and surely they will look to do the same against them once again. Despite playing away from home they are the clear favourites to win this fixture. This will be a mouthwatering clash for sure.

Key Players to Watch in Le Mans vs Paris Saint Germain

Antoine Rabillard (Le Mans)

The Frenchman is not having a very good season but still, due to his hard work and dedication, he is able to start the games. He is a typical number nine who is capable of scoring goals inside the box very well. Rabillard is a poacher who does not miss the opportunity to score in the penalty area. Despite being a bit short in stature he is able to win the duels against strong players. His pace and dribbling ability help him to get past defenders with ease.

He does have the experience of playing at the top level and against a big team like PSG he will have to deliver a top performance. In 13 games till now he has scored only one goal and will look to add more goals to his tally for sure.

Ousmane Dembele (Paris Saint Germain)

Dembele is the main creative outlet for PSG and he is in fine form as he scored back-to-back hattricks in his last two matches. The biggest criticism that the Frenchman faces is his inconsistency but this season he is looking completely different. He is comfortable on both feet and can dribble past opponents easily. With his lightning pace, he can annihilate any team’s defenders and is very difficult to stop him. Luis Enrique fully trusts the Frenchman and surely he will score more goals this season.

In 18 matches, he has scored 14 goals and provided four assists. In the last five games, he generated 4.1 xG and took 21 shots out of which 13 were on target. Fans are also supposed with hos much confidence he is playing this season and surely for Le Mans he will be a big threat.

Le Mans vs Paris Saint Germain Prediction

Luis Enrique’s team is much better than the home team and they are the favourites to win this upcoming fixture. Le Mans does have a good fan base which will make the stadium environment hostile for sure. Despite playing away from home the team from Paris will win this fixture comfortably.
