Submit Thanks for the submission!

PSG, the reigning champions, will kick off their title defence against the Ligue 2 side, who secured their place in the round of 64 with a 3-1 win over Guingamp last month.

Caen are winless in their last four outings across all competitions and will likely struggle against the Ligue 1 behemoths.

On-loan PSG goalkeeper Garissone Innocent fell unconscious in a Ligue 2 match on 30 January and has been undergoing treatment since the incident. His involvement against his parent club is unlikely.

Caen vs Paris Saint-Germain Prediction

PSG are always the favorites against any French side, no matter their own form or the form of the opposition.

There is a huge divide in the quality of players in the ranks of Caen and PSG, which will be a major factor in determining the outcome of the game.

Though the visitors have struggled a bit in some league fixtures, we expect them to cruise through to the next round with a comfortable win here.
