The side of Luis Enrique gets a chance of 80.4% to win the final of the Coupe de France in 90 minutes by the OPTA Supercomputer, with the hope of Reims at only 7.8%. The chance of a draw is at 11.7%, which would mean extra time and possibly fines.
“It doesn't matter what the situation of Reims is at the moment … We know how we can find spaces and points to exploit. A lot can happen in a competition, and you have to prepare well. We still have a day preparation,” said the Spaniard.
“Everyone gives 130% to win this trophy. You have to win a final, you can't let it slide through your fingers.”
While PSG has long packed their competition title, Inter is experiencing a most important series A collision against Como on Friday.

“I don't know if that is positive or negative. I try to see what is positive about our schedule.”
