PARIS, France (Interstat) — Paris FC Women, riding high from a landmark UEFA Women’s Champions League campaign, will turn their focus to domestic cup glory when they visit Racing Club de Lens in the Coupe de France Féminine on Saturday, Jan. 10, 2026.

The matchup at Stade Bollaert-Delelis in Lens pits a European contender against a Lens side looking to spring a major upset. Statistical models heavily favor the visitors. Interstat’s game simulator projects a 1-0 victory for Paris FC W, while its ELO rating system gives the capital club a 95.60% probability of advancing.

Paris FC W enters the contest following a narrow 2-0 defeat to powerhouse FC Barcelona on Dec. 17 in the Champions League. That result snapped an impressive run of form on the continental stage. The team had previously secured a 1-0 away win at Norway’s Valerenga on Dec. 10 and a commanding 2-0 victory at Portugal’s Benfica on Nov. 19. Their European journey also included a credible 1-1 draw at Real Madrid on Nov. 11.

Those positive results were preceded by a 4-0 loss at Chelsea in October and a pair of draws with Austria Wien in September, highlighting a season of contrasts but clear growth against elite competition.

For Racing Club de Lens, specific recent form data was not immediately available. The club will rely on its home support in one of French football’s most storied venues to counter Paris FC’s technical quality and big-game experience.

A deep cup run offers a tangible target for Paris FC W in a season already defined by European success. The club must balance this domestic pursuit with a demanding schedule ahead, including a Champions League return leg against Real Madrid on Feb. 11.

Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. local time (1700 GMT) in Lens. The winner will advance to the next round of France’s premier women’s knockout tournament.
