French Football Cup Paris St. Germain go into the cup final against Reims as clear favorites. Prediction, 24.05.25
Paris still has a chance of winning the treble
Paris St. Germain are probably playing their strongest season of the new era so far. In Ligue 1, they have already secured the league title for weeks, in the Champions League they made it to the final against FC Arsenal and in the Cup they are also in the final, where they will face Stade Reims. The first treble in history therefore seems possible. The opponents, on the other hand, had a dreadful season and only managed 16th place in Ligue 1. They will therefore have to play in the relegation play-offs to stay in the league. A win in the final of the Coupe de France could still see them qualify for the international competition. In contrast to their opponents, they don't have much to lose, as they are considered to be the underdogs.

Paris St. Germain want to keep their chance of winning the treble alive
The Parisians now not only play beautiful soccer, but also successful soccer. Under Luis Enrique, they won the Ligue 1 title for the 2nd time in a row, with a lead of 19 points! In 34 league games, they only conceded 2 defeats and were victorious 26 times. They clearly had the best offense of all teams and were also number 1 defensively. Due to the fact that the title had already been wrapped up for weeks, their concentration waned somewhat and they lost 2 of their last 4 games in the league. However, they finished with 2 wins against Montpellier and Auxerre. They scored a strong 7 goals in these last two competitive games. The team is also performing strongly in the Champions League this year. After wins against Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal, they have reached the final against Inter Milan. This could be Paris' first success in the top flight.

Hardly any strong opponents in the Cup
The matches in the Cup so far are difficult to interpret. Paris had a close encounter against top team RC Lens in the 9th round. This was only won on penalties after a 1:1 draw. After that, however, they only played lower-ranked clubs. In the quarter-finals, for example, there was a 7:0 win against Stade Briochin. In the semi-final, they beat USL Dunkerque 2:4. After the game against Lens, they scored at least 2 goals in every game.
Paris Saint Germain
System: 4-3-3.
Stade Reims could be relegated and play internationally
Even reaching the final of the Coupe de France is a sensation for Stade Reims. Although the team has been playing in Ligue 1 for years, they have only achieved a top 10 place once and that was last season. This year, on the other hand, they are playing their worst season since promotion in 2018. In the end, they only managed 16th place, which means they have to go into the relegation play-offs. These games will decide whether they can stay in the league or not. There is therefore a possible relegated team in the final of the cup. Of course, they are the clear underdogs, but at the same time they have nothing to lose. However, they will not be going into the game with much confidence, as they have not won any of their last 5 games in the league. After 3 defeats in a row against Nice, Saint Etienne and Lille, they at least managed a 1-1 draw against FC Metz on the last matchday. Their biggest problem this season has certainly been their offense. In 34 games, they scored just 33 goals, an average of less than one goal per game. Apart from Nakamura, no player in the squad managed to score more than 5 goals.

Defeating a title favorite in the cup
Stade Reims had a difficult task in the round of 16 with AS Monaco, which they overcame. Like their opponents, they managed to prevail on penalties after a 1:1 draw in regular time. They then also had duels against lower league clubs such as Bourgoin-Jallieu and Cannes. All matches ended narrowly with a one-goal lead or on penalties. This was also the case in the quarter-final against Angers. They won a total of 3 penalty shoot-outs.
Stade Reims
System: 4-2-3-1.

Paris remains the clear favorite - Our forecast
Paris St. Germain are the French champions and are in the final of both the cup and the Champions League. They are the clear favorites against 16th-placed Stade Reims. If they can fulfill their potential, we would even recommend a handicap bet (0:1). A victory without conceding a goal is also conceivable, as Reims have one of the worst offenses in Ligue 1.
