Nancy vs Amiens

The Coupe de France has always produced upsets.

This time one of France's lowest-ranked sides comes up against fellow Ligue 2 side Amiens.

Amiens players celebrate scoring a goal in their 4-4 draw with Paris Saint-Germain in February. The club have since been condemned to relegation after the decision to end the season early due to the coronavirus

The two sides have faced off thrice in recent times with 2 draws and a solitary win for Amiens. However this time Nancy come into this match on the back of a drubbing at Toulouse. Amiens are coming through on the back of a draw with Quevilly and a win over Guingamp.

The prediction for this match is first half under 1.5 goals at 1.31 odds on BetKing.

Toulouse vs Versailles

The best team in Ligue 2 plays a barely known side in the national division.

Toulouse are known for their quick breaks and have often played so well in Ligue 2 making people wonder why they have not been promoted to Ligue un in a while. This cup match seems an easy fixture however knowing cup competitions as competitions for upsets it's wise to evaluate properly.

The prediction for this match is a Toulouse win at 1.25 odds on BetKing.

Reims vs Bastia

The last 6 meetings between these two sides have been so evenly split. This match pitches two similar sides. Reims are in 14th place on the Ligue 1 table. Bastia are among the low ranked sides in the Ligue 2. This match offers both teams a chance to reorganize and improve their season with a cup run. The lower french leagues tend to play low scoring games so we cannot be so sure of a goal-fest even if it is a cup match. 

Prediction for the match is first half under 1.5 at 1.31 odds on BetKing.

Marseille vs Montpelier

Both sides have the possibility of finishing in European places hence will look to heavily rotate squads. So it will be a test of the depth of both sides as well as the strength of their academy system.

Both teams although would keep stars on the bench to effect changes when things don't seem to be going fine. Either side would fancy their chances for a cup final and will do their best to get it. 

Prediction for the match is second half over 0.5 at 1.24 odds on BetKing.
