Games are made ! The draw for the round of 16 delivered its verdict this Monday. The fate of the clubs still in the running rested in the hands of Tamara Horacek, world handball champion, and Benjamin Moukandjo, who played at Monaco, Nancy, Reims and Lens. They were lenient with PSG who, after their success against the amateurs of Revel (0-9), will meet Orléans, modest 10th in the National.
The bar will be higher for Marseille. OM will indeed travel to Rennes. The two teams had already met last season in the competition, but at the Vélodrome, with Marseille qualifying at the end of the match (1-0). Another 100% Ligue 1 duel will be on the program as Clermont will cross swords with Strasbourg. The draw also resulted in a Sochaux – Reims and a Bordeaux – Nice.
Faller from QRM last Saturday, Feignies-Aulnoye (N2) will try to extend its epic against Montpellier. The Racing Club de France (N2) will also have to climb a mountain against Lille. Same story for Trélissac (N2), which inherited Brest, and Bergerac (N2), which will host Olympique Lyonnais.
The defending champion, Toulouse, will play its place in the round of 16 on the pitch of FC Rouen. Finally, the little thumb, AS Saint-Priest (N3), will have a real challenge to play against Romorantin (N2). The matches will be played on January 19, 20 and 21.
