Vannes vs PSG prediction, preview, team news and more | Coupe de France 2021-22
Domestic football continues in France in the form of the Coupe de France, with Vannes hosting PSG at the Stade de la Rabine on Monday.
Vannes currently play in Championnat National 2, which is the fourth tier of French football.
They beat US St. Philbert de Grandlieu 2-0 in their first game before going on to beat PD Ergue Gaberic 2-1 in their next game. They beat Championnat National 3 side Wasquehal 4-0 in the previous round before getting drawn against French powerhouse PSG.
Vannes have qualified for the last 32 of the cup competition for the first time in over a decade and will be looking to make a good account of themselves on Monday.
PSG beat Feignies/Aulnoye EFC 3-0 in their opening cup game of the campaign and could very well have scored double that tally.
Kylian Mbappe scored a brace on the day while Mauro Icardi scored the other.
PSG are the defending champions of the Coupe de France and are also the record holders, having won the cup competition 14 times. They will be looking to win next week as they continue their title defense.
