Briochin vs. PSG: Match Prediction
It's hard to imagine what Guillaume Allanu's side can offer against the hegemon of French football. Even in their own championship, which represents the fourth tier, Briochin is not performing exceptionally. The team is ninth and closer to the relegation zone than to the leading group. However, the club's solid defensive play should be noted, conceding only two goals in this French Cup campaign, despite facing the third most prolific attack in Ligue 1 in the previous round.
PSG advanced through the last round without any extraordinary efforts. Luis Enrique's side is unlikely to strive for a victory at any cost against their next opponent. The difference in class is evident, allowing them to take it easy. Moreover, PSG has a much more important match awaiting them in the league. Additionally, there haven't been many goal-scoring feats from the team in the French Cup recently: no more than four goals have been scored in 6 of PSG's last 7 matches in this tournament.
My prediction: PSG to win and Total under 4.5 goals
