PARIS (Interstat) — The marquee matchup of the Coupe de France Féminine round of 32 will see Division 1 Féminine powers Paris Saint-Germain and Montpellier meet at the Stade Municipal Georges Lefèvre in Saint-Germain-en-Laye on Saturday.

PSG, the home side, enters the knockout contest in strong form. They are fresh off a 2-0 league victory over Lille OSC last Sunday, a result that maintained their pressure at the top of the domestic table. Montpellier advanced to this stage with a 2-1 away win against AAS Sarcelles in the previous round on Jan. 10.

The fixture is a familiar one in French women’s football, though its occurrence in the cup adds a sudden-death element. While PSG is consistently among the favorites to lift the Coupe de France, Montpellier presents a formidable challenge as a perennial top-flight contender capable of upsetting the established order.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, PSG is projected to advance with a 2-0 victory. The model reflects PSG’s status as one of Europe’s deepest squads, featuring international stars, and their home advantage for this tie.

Historically, PSG has held the upper hand in recent encounters, but cup football often produces unpredictable drama. Montpellier will rely on its cohesive unit and the momentum from its hard-fought away win at Sarcelles to attempt to defy the projections.

Kickoff is set for Saturday, Jan. 24, 2026. The winner will advance to the round of 16 of France’s premier domestic cup competition.
