Espalie vs. Dijon: French Cup Match Prediction
In the 1/32 finals of the French Cup on December 20, Espalie and Dijon will fight for a place in the next stage. The hosts play in the third division of the National Championship, this is the fifth league of France. Will the obvious outsider be able to impose competition on the representative of the Third League, Dijon? The answer will be in our forecast for this confrontation.
Command Analysis
Espaly
FranceCurrent form
"Espali" is only 11th in the Third National Championship and clearly does not set high goals. However, the amateur club has already managed to pass two stages of the French Cup and reached a rather serious opponent. In previous matches, the hosts managed to defeat "Biard-Bretenot" (1:0) and "Cuzet-Chaptela" (3:0). So far, the club has not conceded a single goal in the tournament, but it will be difficult to defend its goal in a match with such a serious opponent as "Dijon".

The hosts have no problems with their squad ahead of the French Cup match.
Interesting trends for betting

FranceCurrent form
Dijon continues to play in the Third League of France after being relegated from Ligue 2 in the 2022/23 season. Last season, the visitors took only fourth place and failed to return to the second division. The team performance now cannot be called successful either.

Among the positive aspects, we can note the game in defense - the team has conceded only eight goals and is the only team that has not yet reached the mark of 10 goals conceded. At the same time, the visitors do not score very much - only 11 goals in 14 matches. In the previous round of the cup, they beat Chambéry with a score of 2:0.

2.40Tip and bets
The visitors are not going through the best moment in their history, but the team is clearly capable of winning a confident victory over the amateur team from Espali-Saint-Marseille. We do not think that the hosts pose a serious threat to Dijon, after all, the teams are of completely different levels. We advise you to bet on a confident victory for the visitors.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1) on Dijon for 1.88
Bet on total
The visitors are betting on defense this season and will probably stick to this strategy in the cup clash. The hosts are unlikely to break through Dijon defense, so we expect a quiet victory from the favorites on the basis of class.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals for 1.95
Bet on corners
The opponents will try to play in an extremely disciplined and organized manner, and will pay a lot of attention to defending their own possessions. Most likely, you shouldn't expect an excessive number of set pieces.
Our prediction is under 9.5 corners for 1.75
