National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Lille or Pau that keep their silverware dream alive.

These teams have little in common geographically as Pau have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Lille form and stats

Last season, Lille's Coupe de France journey ended in the round of 32.

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Stade Pierre-Mauroy as Lille have scored 21 goals to get 20 points from 10 games. The overall stats in the Ligue 1 are 6-2-2 (wins-draws-losses).

The Lille supporters enjoyed the previous game, watching their team host Troyes and win 5-1. As indicated by the result mentioned above, Lille played a great game against Troyes and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one. The attacking player David was named "man of the match" for Lille with the rating of 8.9/10. David scored two goals, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 35 successful passes (of 41 total).

A 0-0 draw away in the Ligue 1 before that, with Brest the opponent.

Lille can score goals in their home matches. After 10 league matches they have found the net 21 times. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 17 goals have been conceded.

Pau form and stats

Pau was sent out of Coupe de France in the 7th round last season.

There's been little loot from Pau's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 10 away games in the Ligue 2. Pau only have 2 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 3 draws.

Pau have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 216 minutes ago. Yattara was the goal scorer.

Two away games in a row for Pau, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-1 versus Bastia. Kouassi, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.43. Kouassi won 6 of 8 duels.

Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against Grenoble Foot 38 in the Ligue 2.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Pau as they have only managed to score 8 times from 10 away games in the league. Pau have conceded 13 goals in these away matches.
