French Coupe de France Final Betting Analysis
The biggest news that came out last week affecting this match is Neymar’s suspension. The Paris Saint-Germain striker won’t play on Wednesday unless PSG goes through with an appeal. So far, Paris hasn’t said whether they’d appeal the suspension.
Even without Neymar, Paris Saint-Germain has enough to challenge Monaco. PSG can lean on Kylian Mbappe and Angel Di Maria to score goals.
But Paris Saint-Germain’s issues this season haven’t been about scoring goals. Keylor Navas has struggled to produce clean sheets. He produced one against Stade de Reims in Paris Saint-Germain’s last.
Nobody will confuse Stade de Reims with As Monaco, though. PSG could surprise and beat Monaco on Wednesday. But the odds on Paris don’t justify a bet. Not having Neymar on the pitch doesn’t help.
Navas’ form, he’s allowed at least a goal in 4 of PSG’s last 5 matches, forces us to back the dog. As Monaco is the play to win the 2020-2021 French Coup de France Final.
