Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Paris & Saint-Étienne face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Coupe de France. All the pre-match information is available here!
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Paris form and stats
Last season their Coupe de France adventure ended in the 7th round.Paris's struggle is real here with only 7 points collected from 9 Ligue 2 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-1-6. 3W-0D-0L is the hard facts regardless of venue in the Coupe de France for Paris. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Paris, their manager R. Girard and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Vincent De Marconnay not having conceded a league goal in 270 minutes.
Paris drew their last game, 1-1 away at Sochaux. Before that match, a Coupe de France win away at Fabregues.
Paris aren't scoring a lot here in the league, with only 6 goals from 9 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 17 goals have been conceded.
Saint-Étienne form and stats
They also participated in Coupe de France last season. This ended in the 16th finals.Playing away, Saint-Étienne have won 4 games, drawn 0 and suffered 6 defeats in the Ligue 1 this season. It's looking increasingly bleak for Saint-Étienne who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Nice was the last time a defeat was avoided. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on C. Puel, the Saint-Étienne manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
The manager C. Puel was unhappy after their last game, a Ligue 1 match played at their home ground Stade Geoffroy-Guichard. Saint-Étienne suffered a 0-2 loss to Nantes. A 1-6 defeat away at Paris Saint Germain before that.
Saint-Étienne have scored 11 goals on their travels this season, from 10 away games in the league. Saint-Étienne have conceded 18 goals in these games.
