Football / Coupe de France. Make way for the little thumbs?

For the knockout stages of the Coupe de France, the only clash between two Ligue 1 teams will oppose Monaco and Metz on Tuesday (6:45 p.m.). Paris is already qualified for the quarter-finals after its success against Lille (3-0) on March 17. For Monaco, it is an opportunity to get closer to a possible title, they who have not won the competition since 1991.

A National 2 club in quarterfinals

On the side of the “small thumbs”, Olympique Saumur (National 3) will host Toulouse on Wednesday (6:45 pm) to try to create the feat against the 2e of Ligue 2 after his victory against Nancy on Saturday (4-1).

There will be at least two lower division clubs in the quarter-finals since Rumilly-Vallières host Le Puy, both in National 2, and Canet-en-Roussillon, unexpected drop from Marseille in the previous round, receives Boulogne-sur-Mer (National).

On the other hand, the task will be more difficult for the Voltigeurs de Châteaubriant (National 2) opposed to Montpellier (8e Ligue 1) on Wednesday (6.45 p.m.), as did Sedan, which hosted Montpellier earlier in the day (4.45 p.m.).

Thursday, it will be the turn of the Red Star, winner five times between 1921 and 1942, to try his luck against Lyon.
