Brioche vs. PSG: Match Prediction
It is difficult to imagine what Guillaume Allanu's side can offer against the hegemon of French football. Even in their own league, which is the fourth tier, Brioche does not stand out. The team is in ninth place, closer to the relegation zone than the leading group. However, the club's solid defensive performance, conceding only two goals in this French Cup campaign, cannot be overlooked. They managed to contain the third most effective attack in Ligue 1 in the previous round.
PSG effortlessly advanced past the last round. Luis Enrique's side is unlikely to push themselves too hard against their next opponent. The difference in class is evident, and they can afford to conserve energy. Especially since a more significant league match awaits the Parisians. Furthermore, PSG has not been prolific in the French Cup recently, with no more than four goals scored in 6 of their last 7 matches in this tournament.
My prediction: PSG to win and Total under 4.5 goals
