One of the French Cup semi-final matches will take place on Tuesday at the “Marseille Tribute” arena, where Dunkerque will host PSG. With favorable odds, this is a match worth considering for a bet.
Match Preview
Luís Castro’s Dunkerque is currently fighting for a top-5 spot in Ligue 2, which would give them a chance to compete in the promotion playoffs. While this is a significant achievement for the modest club, their form has recently taken a sharp downturn.
A run of three consecutive defeats has severely impacted their ambitions. The most crushing was a 1-5 loss to Rodet, followed by a 2-3 defeat at home to Metz and a 0-2 loss away to Bastia. These results highlight the crisis the team is facing, although they have managed to secure victories over Lille, Auxerre, and Brest in the cup.
Meanwhile, Luís Enrique’s PSG continues to compete on multiple fronts: Ligue 1, the French Cup, and the UEFA Champions League. The Parisians are not just participating—they’re delivering thrilling performances. After the international break, PSG delivered a sensational 6-1 victory over Saint-Étienne away.
