The PFC would like to see history stutter. After reaching the round of 16 last year for the first time in 40 years, Alimani Gory’s teammates will try to repeat this performance against Valenciennes this Saturday at 5:30 p.m. for the round of 16 of the Cup of France.
Fallers from Alès, Nationale 2 team, in the previous round (1-2), the Parisians, currently eighth in Ligue 2, are confident of their strength against the Northerners since they remain in seven games without defeat in all competitions.
For their part, the Valenciennes are having a complicated season to say the least. Currently bottom of Ligue 2, the northern club where Ahmed Kantari replaced Jorge Maciel as coach at the beginning of December, has only won once in 20 league matches. A victory in the Coupe de France would, therefore, do him the greatest good.
Valenciennes-Paris FC will kick off this Saturday, January 20 at 5:30 p.m. The meeting will be broadcast on BeIN Sports Max 8.
