Perhaps a welcome break from league football as these teams face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Coupe de France. All the pre-match information is available here!
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Valenciennes form and stats
Action has already taken place for Valenciennes in Coupe de France as they have defeated Tourcoing USF and Saint-Maximin to reach the 32nd Finals. Valenciennes participated in Coupe de France the last season, where they reached the 32nd finals.When playing at home in the Ligue 2, Valenciennes have managed 5 wins, 3 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 10 games. There’s a good atmosphere here at Stade du Hainaut after three straight home wins.
Valenciennes's previous game was a Ligue 2 match also played at home, ending 3-0 versus Lorient. The home side are looking to build on that result. Before that, Valenciennes had a Ligue 2 home game versus Paris which ended with a victory 1-0.
Teddy Chevalier was absolutely essential when Valenciennes beat Lorient 3-0, scoring 3 goals.
The Valenciennes fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 10 matches. Valenciennes have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 5 goals.
