Coppa Italia: the quarter-finals continue and finish
We're off to Italy now, where two cities await us: Milan and Turin. We've got an interesting programme ahead of us, with the quarter-finals of our Italian Cup predictions continuing, with AC Milan and Bologna already through to the last four.

German Cup: two matches including one clash
We continue our overview of the cup competitions in Germany with our DFB Pokal prediction. We're in a similar situation to Italy here: two teams have qualified for the semi-finals (Stuttgart and Bayer Leverkusen), so there are still two tickets up for grabs.
We have two interesting encounters tonight and tomorrow night, with a clash between two fine German teams. You can find our predictions below:
- Our Arminia Bielefeld - Werder Bremen prediction I Tuesday 25 February 2025 - 19:45
- Our Leipzig - Wolfsburg prediction I Wednesday 26 February 2025 - 19:45
French Cup: quarter-finals kick off tonight
We round off our round-up of domestic cups in France with the Coupe de France. The quarter-finals of our Coupe de France prediction feature a fairly unprecedented line-up, with Cannes, Guingamp, Dunkerque and Stade Briochin still in the running.
In terms of favourites and outsiders at the start of the season (Marseille, Monaco, Lyon, Lille, Nice, Rennes, Lens), there is simply nobody left, and PSG are the only big favourites to win the final! Of course, the remaining Ligue 1 representatives (Angers, Reims and also Brest) will be trying to block the path of the club from the capital.
Here are our forecasts for tonight's and tomorrow's matches:
- Our Angers - Reims prediction I Tuesday 25 February 2025 - 20:00
- Cannes - Guingamp I Tuesday 25 February 2025 - 20:00
- Our Brest - Dunkerque prediction I Wednesday 26 February 2025 - 18:00
- Our Stade Briochin - PSG prediction I Wednesday 26 February 2025 - 20:10
