Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Les Herbiers & Bastia face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Coupe de France. All the pre-match information is available here!
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
These teams have little in common geographically as Bastia have to travel 1300 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
