LiontipsLe Mans vs Valenciennes. Prediction (odds 3.35) and bets on the French Cup match
Command Analysis
Current form
Le Mans are in good shape, having not lost in five matches in a row. Thanks to these results, after an unsuccessful start to the season, Patrick Videira charges have gradually begun to climb out of the bottom of the standings. The team is currently in the top 10 and five points above the relegation zone.
The hosts have already played three matches in the French Cup. In the first round, they barely beat Vannes (2:1), but then they did not notice any resistance from Colombes Lesmines (4:0) and Marman (7:0). It will be problematic to play so successfully in the upcoming match, because the opponent is not inferior in terms of play.
Disqualifications and injuries
There are currently no injured players on the team.
Interesting trends for betting
- Le Mans have gone five games unbeaten
- The hosts have managed to score in four of their last five matches
- Le Mans have kept clean sheets in three of their last five matches
Approximate composition: Kosik - Matumona, Eom, Lamgahez, Voyar, Barlet - Rossignol, Laure, Bernardo - Rabillar, Voula.
Current form
Valenciennes is one line below their upcoming opponent in the national championship. They are not playing away matches that well, but the team is regularly scoring points, especially in matches with opponents who are not higher in the game plan. Exactly a month ago, the guests of the upcoming match also lost away to their upcoming opponent with a minimal score of 1:2. But then Vincent Hognon was not at the helm, who took over the team only on the 16th of last month, so there is an excellent chance to take revenge, because under the new coach the team has not yet lost.
In the French Cup, everything was not as simple as with the upcoming opponent. In the first round, they managed to confidently win against Arras (2:0), but already in the next match there was a fight with Neuilly Marne, who they managed to win with a minimum hockey score of 4:3, and in the last round, playing with Thionville, it came down to 11-meter penalties, in which fortune smiled on Valenciennes.

The team main goalkeeper Luchet is injured and will not take to the field.
Interesting trends for betting

1.70Tip and bets
The rivals are neighbors in the national championship standings. In addition, they have similar statistics in goals conceded. The Le Mans goalkeeper took the ball out of his goal 20 times, and the Valenciennes goalkeeper - 21. Based on these indicators, we believe that the teams will focus on defensive actions and will score fewer goals in the cup match than they did a month ago in the national championship match.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.68
Bet on the outcome
In the match a month ago at this stadium the game was equal. The hosts were a little luckier in that match, winning with a score of 2:1. Most likely, the tactics for the game will not change in the upcoming meeting, but the lineups are not a fact that they will be the same. Considering the equal statistics of the performances and the game form of the teams, we are inclined to believe that it will not be possible to determine the winner in 90 minutes of game time.
Our prediction is a draw with odds of 3.35
Bet on corners
If the game goes according to our scenario, then the opponents will not be able to make many passes from the corner flag. We will make another bet on the low total for them.
Our prediction is total under 8.5 corners with odds of 1.77
