National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Reims or Valenciennes that keep their silverware dream alive.
It's no vacation for neither Reims nor Valenciennes as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Reims form and stats
Reims was eliminated in the 32nd finals last season in the Coupe de France.Overall Ligue 1 stats at home this season for Reims are 4-3-4 (wins-draw-losses).
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 190 minutes without scoring a league goal. D. Kutesa was the last player to find the net.
Preceding that game was the home draw versus Angers SCO that ended 0-0.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Reims matches with similar probabilities have ended with zero wins, three draws and two defeats (from five games).
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Reims, as the Ligue 1 home game vs Lens is only four days away.
Reims have scored 10 league goals here from 11 matches, not a lot. On the other hand, Reims have conceded 11 goals.
Valenciennes form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Chambly in order to reach 32nd Finals of Coupe de France. Last season their Coupe de France adventure ended in the 32nd finals.4-5-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Valenciennes in their Ligue 2 matches away. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Grenoble Foot 38 game have they lost an away game, meaning Valenciennes has taken points from nine away matches in a row.
Valenciennes's previous game was their home loss versus Grenoble Foot 38 (0-1). Before that, Valenciennes travelled to Caen and returned home with a draw after the Ligue 2 game finished 1-1.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Valenciennes playing away, we found five games. Results were zero away wins, two draws and three home wins.
Valenciennes are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 19 times in 12 away games so far. As opposed to that, Valenciennes have seen the ball go into their own net 16 times on the road. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
