Predictions and Tips for Paris vs Valenciennes
This will be another French Cup round of 32 meetings between teams that are playing in the Second Division.
Contents
Under 2.5 Goals
The similarities between these teams and their season are amusing, to say the least. They are right next to each other in the Ligue 2 standings with the same amount of wins, draws, and losses. Both also share a low-efficiency rating. Seven of their last eight h2h matches ended with fewer than three goals scored.
Draw
This matchup is perfectly suited to end in a draw and decided by the penalty shootout. Of course, all options are open at these points, but with the way they play, and the lack of scoring, it wouldn't be a big surprise that this match ends with a goalless stalemate.

Probable Lineups, Preview, and Team News
Paris
Like their opponents, Paris has been struggling with their efficiency. Their goal difference is at 15:16 after 17 matches. In their two games played after the World Cup break was over, there was only a single goal scored, and Paris got it in a win away to Pau. Their other match against a top side Le Havre ended scorelessly. Coming into a match against Valenciennes, Paris will be weary of their home form. They are the second-worst home team in Ligue 2 with only one win out of eight matches. It's incredible to see that out of their 24 points, 18 were earned as visitors which makes them the second-best away team in the league. Looking at their scoring chances, Morgan Guilavogui is their main striker with six goals, but there is little help from his teammates. The Paris team didn't have much trouble in getting past a little know team Cosne in the last round but will be hard-pressed to make the case against Valenciennes, that they deserve a place with the best teams in this competition.
Probable lineup: Demarconnay, Lefort, Bernauer, Gueho, Kore, Lasne, Gory, Iglesias, Phiri, Guilavogui, Caddy.
Valenciennes
When you have a goal difference at 14:14 after playing 17 league matches, you shouldn't be in the upper part of the rankings. But, in this strange season, Valenciennes has done it. They are ninth with almost the same points difference when it comes to trailing second-placed Bordeaux or worrying about relegation. Valenciennes away form is something else, but not in a good way. They won twice in nine matches but their away goal difference is stuck at 3:7. They lost three matches in a row when playing outside their comfort zone at home. Valenciennes got through to the round of 32 of the French Cup by beating a lower league side Feignies-Aulnoye, and in their last five matches in all competitions, only once there was a game where both teams scored a goal.
Probable lineup: Larsonneur, Linguet, Debuchy, Buatu Mananga, Lecoeuche, Diliberto, Kaba, Boutoutaou, Picouleaue, Hamache, Noubissi.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
Player to Watch: Morgan Guilavogui
The 24-year-old player was born in France but playing for Guinea has scored six goals this season and leads the team in that aspect. It's an impressive stat considering that he started in only 59 percent of the game playing barely 60 percent of the minutes available. With a team like Paris that doesn't have many good scorers, Guilavogui's role will be essential.
