Monaco, current 3e of Ligue 1, receives Metz this Tuesday in 8is of the Coupe de France, the only shock of the week opposing two L1 teams, while Lyon (4e ) travels to the Red Star grounds on Thursday.
The Monegasques haven’t won the competition since 1991 and in their last final, in 2010, they were beaten by Paris Saint-Germain.
Le Petit Poucet, Olympique Saumur, which plays in National 3, welcomes Toulouse, 2e of Ligue 2, this Wednesday, the same day as the duel between Rumilly-Vallières (Haute-Savoie) and Le Puy, both residents of National 2.
Another lower division club is guaranteed to participate in the quarter-finals since Canet Roussillon (N2), striker of Olympique de Marseille in the previous round, faces Boulogne-sur-Mer (National). The Voltigeurs de Châteaubriant, members of the N2, will face at home in Montpellier.
In another match between a N2 team and a Ligue 1 team, Sedan will challenge Angers.
Finally, Thursday, the Red Star, five times winner of the Coupe de France between 1921 and 1942, hopes to obtain a historic qualification against the Lyonnais. The Audonien club have not reached the quarterfinals of the competition since 1992.
