Coupe de France Outrights Tips for 2025/2026 Season

Outright betting in the Coupe de France focuses on long-term outcomes throughout France’s prestigious national cup competition. The most common outright markets for the Coupe de France include To Win the Trophy and To Reach the Semi-Finals.

Who is most likely to win the Coupe de France this season?

Priced at 8/1 (11%) by most major bookmakers, Olympique Marseille are the leading contender to win the Coupe de France in 2025/26, combining the firepower of returning striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang with the electric home advantage of the Stade Vélodrome. Aubameyang’s return reunites Marseille with a proven Ligue 1 goalscorer who scored 30 goals and provided 11 assists in 51 appearances during his first spell in 2023/24. Supported by the Vélodrome’s renowned intensity and passionate crowd, Marseille are expected to turn their home ties into decisive advantages, giving them both the firepower and atmosphere required to win the Coupe de France title this season.

Which teams are most likely to reach the semi-finals in the Coupe de France this season?

The four clubs most likely to reach the Coupe de France semi-finals in 2025/26 are Paris Saint-Germain, Olympique Marseille, Strasbourg, and Nice. Each of these clubs combines strong management, tactical organisation, and decisive summer reinforcements — qualities that are essential for success in France’s knockout competition.

More information about the 4 leading Coupe de France semi-final candidates is given below.

• Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). PSG are bound to reach the Coupe de France semi-finals thanks to their world-class squad and the tactical clarity brought by Luis Enrique. New signings Ilya Zabarnyi and Lucas Chevalier add defensive stability and depth to Paris Saint-Germain, complementing a roster already full of elite talent.
• Olympique Marseille. Marseille are one of the teams most likely to reach the semi-finals due to the return of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and the fierce home support at the Stade Vélodrome. Aubameyang’s proven finishing ability and leadership bring a decisive edge in tight knockout ties, while the Vélodrome’s intense atmosphere gives Marseille a significant home advantage.
• Strasbourg. Strasbourg are well-positioned to reach the Coupe de France semi-finals after strengthening their squad across multiple positions. The arrivals of Julio Enciso, Lucas Høgsberg, Joaquín Panichelli, Andrew Omobamidele, and Valentin Barco have transformed the team into a balanced, youthful, and defensively solid unit, making Strasbourg one of the likeliest candidates for a Coupe de France semi-final spot.
• Nice. Nice are among the leading Coupe de France semi-final contenders thanks to their defensive resilience and formidable home record. The team is notoriously difficult to beat at the Allianz Riviera, and the signing of Isak Jansson adds energy and creativity to their attacking play. With tactical discipline and a strong home advantage, Nice have the qualities needed to become semi-finalists in this year’s Coupe de France.

What are Coupe de France Predictions?

Coupe de France predictions are data-backed predictions of the most likely outcomes throughout France’s national knockout tournament. These forecasts include long-term markets such as potential champions and semi-finalists, as well as individual match bets like Correct Score and Over/Under goals. By combining statistical modelling with recent form and team analysis, our Coupe de France predictions offer sharper insights for punters following every round of the competition.

How are Coupe de France Predictions determined?

Our analysts create accurate Coupe de France predictions through a structured process that combines statistical research, squad assessment, and betting market evaluation. This method reflects the unique character of France’s national cup, where single-leg ties, varied venues, and the inclusion of lower-division teams make outcomes less predictable.

The three main steps behind our Coupe de France forecasts are as follows.

• Analysing form and cup performance history
• Assessing squad rotation and motivation levels
• Comparing findings with betting market odds

1. Analysing form and cup performance history. The first step in producing reliable Coupe de France predictions involves studying how teams adapt to knockout football, particularly against lower-league opposition. Key metrics for Coupe de France such as goals per match, clean sheet rates, and home advantage are reviewed, with special focus on how sides perform in unfamiliar stadiums or winter conditions.
2. Assessing squad rotation and motivation levels. After analysing recent form and past results, the next step in producing solid Coupe de France predictions looks at how managerial choices affect performance. Fixture congestion often forces Ligue 1 clubs to rest key players in early rounds, while lower-tier teams approach the Coupe de France as a rare chance for silverware. Understanding these contrasts in motivation helps predict which sides will field their strongest line-ups and deliver consistent results in knockout play.
3. Comparing findings with betting market odds. The final step in shaping solid Coupe de France predictions matches analytical insights with bookmaker prices to uncover value. Given the tournament’s unpredictability, favourites are often overpriced while underdogs offer strong returns. By tracking line movements and performance data, our Coupe de France betting experts highlight valuable markets such as Both Teams to Score, Correct Score, and To Qualify.

When are Coupe de France Predictions released?

We release our Coupe de France predictions every Monday at 3:00 PM London Time, whether the fixtures are scheduled for midweek or the weekend.

What are the most appealing Betting Markets to bet on for the Coupe de France?

The most appealing betting markets for the Coupe de France are Away Wins, Over 2.5 Goals, and Clean Sheets. These markets reflect the competition’s blend of surprise results and high-scoring matches, offering both consistency and strong potential returns.

More information on the 3 best betting markets for the Coupe de France follows below.

• Away Wins. Away Wins stand out in the Coupe de France due to the dominance of Ligue 1 clubs in early rounds. Over the past five Coupe de France seasons, away victories have surpassed home wins and draws, reaching 51% in 2023/24 and 50% in 2024/25. This consistent edge for away wins makes the market one of the most reliable options for Coupe de France betting, as top-tier teams frequently deliver results despite playing on lower-division grounds.
• Over 2.5 Goals. Over 2.5 Goals is another profitable market for Coupe de France bettors, with success rates ranging from 50% to 64% across the last five seasons. Matches average around 3.0 goals per game, and encounters involving elite teams produce high scorelines. The mix of open play and mismatched defences makes this a dependable choice for goal-focused Coupe de France betting.
• Clean Sheets. Clean Sheets is one of the best-performing markets in the Coupe de France, occurring in a notably high proportion of matches — between 48% and 69% over recent editions. This trend highlights the dominance of stronger sides and the one-sided nature of early rounds in the Coupe de France, where top-tier clubs limit opposition chances and regularly record shutouts against lower-division teams.

The table below summarises the Coupe de France’s key outcomes from the past five seasons across these markets.
