Avoine to win
We kick off our tips for this game by backing lower League side Avoine to win. Avoine might be one tier lower than Vierzon in the French football pyramid but that only tells a fraction of the story. Right now, Avoine are top of their league having won nine of the 10 games played. By stark contrast, Vierzon are bottom of their league at National 2 level with just two wins from 13 game. Obviously, we can't completely ignore the fact these teams are in separate tiers, however, home advantage is with Avoine along with the feel good factor sitting at the top of the league brings. That momentum and confidence is huge especially when the opposition is right at the other end of the spectrum.
Someone will fail to score
Our next prediction for this game focuses on the both teams to score market and we are betting on a ‘no' outcome. Avoine have been solid all season long giving up just five goals from 10 league games; that's pretty tight! Vierzon meanwhile have scored just nine goals in 13 games, which is obviously fewer than one per game. Those two factors combined don't make for great reading for the away side.

So, that gives you some insight to how the different bookmakers see the action unfolding. How though do the bookies odds translate into probabilities ahead of this game? Let's find out.

The bookies are going to have a tough job pricing this game up and it's highly plausible that a win for either side could see you offered north of 1/1 (2.00). If that proves to be the case, it will unlock some real value. It isn't all about the match result though; total goals will also be an interesting market. Our expectation is that a fair few goals will hit the net with over 2.5 goals the likely line where odds become worth checking out for ‘over' bets.
Check out the predicted lineups ahead of Avoine vs Vierzon
Avoine
Avoine will see this game as an opportunity to measure themselves against a team from the tier above whilst also holding a belief they can advance in the competition at hand. With that in mind, a strong lineup is guaranteed.
Predicted lineup – Pistol (GK), Soualhia, Essis, Soumah, Thonnel, Ahamada, Djemel, Louves, Combo, Tchouzoue, Traore
Vierzon
The team selection for this game will make interesting reading from a Vierzon viewpoint. They are in a relegation battle so won't want to lose players to injuries etc. in a cup they're never going to go deep in. Equally though, if they make changes there is a real chance they lose and that could be more damaging as their confidence would tumble. We anticipate a strong XI.
Predicted lineup – N'Diaye (GK), Kone, Bon, Medard, Massombo, Khechim, Mayanith, Diagne, N'Guessan, Bernal, Camara
Starting Lineups

Player to watch
Pape Cheikh Traore is the man to keep an eye on in this game. He's currently the top scorer for Avoine with five goals and an assist from 10 games and is a real handful for defenders. Chances in this game will be reduced compared to Avoine's league games but Traore remains their biggest threat. Can Vierzon handle him?
