Grasse Double Chance
National League side Grasse play further down the French football pyramid than Ligue 2’s Rodez, though the teams’ current form suggests an upset could be on the cards when they collide in the Coupe de France on Saturday. Rodez are involved in a battle to beat the drop this term, and although they shocked Monaco in the previous round on penalties, they could struggle to impose themselves as favourites on Saturday. Grasse have won three of their last four games on home soil and they might be worth a go in the double chance market here.
Over 2.5 Goals
Our second prediction for Saturday’s cup clash dips in the goals markets. Four of Rodez’s last six games have featured at least three goals, due largely to their haphazard defending, while over 2.5 goals has also landed in three of Grasse’s last five fixtures at the Stades de la Paoute. Grasse should relish playing the role of underdogs on Saturday and we expect them to attack their visitors from the off. That in turn should ensure supporters are treated to an open contest and another stake on over 2.5 goals could be the way to go.

Grasse vs Rodez Team News & Injuries
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for Saturday’s Coupe de France fixture between Grasse and Rodez below.
Grasse
Grasse made hard work of beating La Tamponnaise in the previous round of the cup (1-0), though the 3-5-2 set-up they used in that contest should make an appearance again on Saturday. Grasse are firmly in the title conversation in National 2 this term.
Predicted Lineup for Grasse: Camus – Camara, Corain, Muratori – Gazzaoui, Souda, Medjian, Ako, Chatelain – Gueye, Atarsia
Rodez
Rodez fought back from two goals down before knocking out giants Monaco on penalties in the previous round of the Coupe de France, though they have failed to win any of their bread-and-butter league fixtures since. It will be interesting to see how they cope as favourites on Saturday. Rodez favour a 5-3-2 formation under Head Coach Didier Santini.
Predicted Lineup for Rodez: Cibois – Coelho, Vandenabeele, Raux-Yao, Ouammou – Pembele, Boissier, Valerio – Mendes, Younoussa
Player to Watch – Aymen Abdennour
33-year-old centre-half Aymen Abdennour is a vastly experienced defender with buckets of top level knowhow, having played for Monaco, Valencia, Marseille and the Tunisian national team earlier in his career. Abdennour scored one of Rodez’s goals to help eliminate his old employers Monaco in the previous round of the Coupe de France. He also scored his team’s first goal in the shootout.
