Lyon-Laval (8th, 0-0)
Before the start of the match, Paulo Fonseca spoke to beIN Sports about his goal in the Coupe de France. Despite the fatigue, his desire is clear: to qualify for the quarter-finals.
First goal of the evening for Montpellier! (1-0, 2nd)
Barely two minutes of play on the different pitches and the first goal of the evening is scored in Nice, by Montpellier, who opens the scoring through Lucas Mincarelli. OGC Nice is therefore already behind. On the other hand, this multiplex is off to a good start!
Let’s go for the 8:30 p.m. matches!
The kick-off was given on the following four lawns:
Groupama Stadium, for Lyon-Laval
At the Stadium, for Toulouse-Amiens
A l’Allianz Riviera, pour Nice-Montpellier
At Moustoir, for Lorient-Paris FC
The composition of RC Lens!
Lens wants to put an end to an astonishing curse: it is the only French champion who has never won the Coupe de France. For this, Pierre Sage lines up the big team, even if Florian Thauvin, suspended, is absent.
The composition of Troyes!
ESTAC, leader of Ligue 2 but which remains with two defeats in the championship, nevertheless presents itself with arguments and ambition.
Beautiful poster between Troyes and Lens
In the evening program, which will kick off at 9 p.m., Lens, 2nd in Ligue 1 and in the fight for the title with PSG, will face a team in form, Troyes, who are currently at the top of the standings in Ligue 2 and who are favorites to join the elite at the end of the season.
Start of the first four matches in 5 minutes!
Here are the four posters which will start at 8:30 p.m.:
Lyon-Laval
Toulouse-Amiens
Nice-Montpellier
Lorient-Paris FC
The starting XI of Paris FC
Fallers from PSG in the previous rounds, the PFC players (14th in Ligue 1) want to confirm in the Coupe de France, to continue their dynamic, which has been more positive in recent weeks. Rookies Munetsi, Koleoscho and Coppola start, while Matondo and Immobile are on the bench.
The composition of Lorient!
Olivier Pantaloni trusts his players who are in good form at the moment to qualify for the quarter-finals.
100% Ligue 1 display between Lorient and Paris FC
The only match between two first division teams this evening is very interesting: Lorient has been in great form for several weeks and remains three consecutive victories in Ligue 1 (9th place); Paris FC achieved the feat in the previous round against PSG (1-0 at the Parc des Princes) and strengthened itself during the winter transfer window, in order to remain quietly in Ligue 1… and to dream of the Coupe de France?
The composition of Toulouse
Ambitious, the Toulouse people (8th in Ligue 1) will try to do better than last year, to believe in an epic like that of 2023, which led them to victory in the Coupe de France.
The composition of Amiens
Amiens, current play-off in Ligue 2 (16th place), will try everything to get through a new round in the Coupe de France.
Amiens aims for a good performance against Toulouse
This other poster between a Ligue 1 team and a Ligue 2 team is interesting, because the gap is perhaps the smallest. Toulouse lost last year in the 1/8 finals… against a Ligue 2 team (Guingamp). Amiens will try everything to achieve the feat against the winner of the Coupe de France in 2023.
The starting XI of Montpellier
Montpellier presents itself with a competitive team, which wants to build on its good run in 2026, notably with two consecutive victories in Ligue 2.
A B team for OGC Nice!
Claude Puel has decided to completely rotate his squad for this meeting against Montpellier.
Another L1/L2 poster between OGC Nice and Montpellier
OGC Nice, pitifully eliminated in the Europa League and dropped in Ligue 1, can rely on the Cup to catch up. Faced with a Montpellier team in good shape in recent weeks, the task will not be easy for Claude Puel’s men.
Laval’s lineup has also fallen
The Ligue 2 residents, currently in difficulty in the championship (17th place), will seek the feat against OL this evening.
The Lyon composition!
Paulo Fonseca has decided to bring out a competitive team, led in particular by Endrick, on loan from Real Madrid, and the latest arrival this winter, Nartey.
Olympique Lyonnais headlines this evening
The Lyonnais have been shining lately. At the foot of the podium but tied with OM in the championship, they also easily qualified for the round of 16 of the Europa League, finishing first in the first phase. Les Gones remain on 10 consecutive victories, in all competitions, and are starting to dream of a first trophy since 2012… why not in the Coupe de France?
Already two known qualifiers for the 1/4 finals
The round of 16 of the Coupe de France started last night, with a match between two Ligue 2 clubs, Reims and Le Mans, and a clash between Olympique de Marseille and Stade Rennais. Stade de Reims and OM both won their matches 3-0 and are therefore the first two qualified for the quarter-finals.
A final poster will take place tomorrow, just after the draw. It will be an interesting meeting between RC Strasbourg and AS Monaco.
