Canet Roussillon vs Montpellier Prediction

The hosts have already eliminated a Ligue 1 side from the competition in Marseille in their round-of-32 fixture. We know that they are capable of pulling off an upset here.

They are going to be well-rested for this game, while this will be the fifth game in 17 days for La Paillade.

The visitors may have won just two of their last six games across all competitions, but they have the quality in their squad to record a win over the fourth-tier side.

We predict a win for the visitors here.

Prediction: Canet Roussillon 1-2 Montpellier
