It will be the shock of these quarter-finals! And what a match. PSG will face Nice to try to reach the semi-finals of the 2024 Coupe de France. At the end of the month – the quarter-finals are scheduled for February 27 and 28 – the Parisians will find their runner-up in the championship, who beat them last September at the Parc des Princes (2-3) for their only defeat of the season in the league so far. A sweet desire for revenge should motivate Kylian Mbappé’s teammates, even if they will also have the lead in their round of 16 second leg of the Champions League which will take place a week later.
The other posters will offer another L1 duel: Lyon – Strasbourg. Invigorated since Pierre Sage sat on their bench, the Gones, who eliminated Lille (2-1) in the round of 16, will try to maintain their momentum. For the rest, Rennes inherited the little thumb of this edition, Puy-en-Velay. The N2 team qualified for the quarters by defeating Laval (2-1) and will therefore have the difficult task of hosting the Bretons who have recovered in recent weeks.
Valenciennes, bottom of Ligue 2 but enjoying some breathing space with the Coupe de France, is awaiting its opponent. The VAFC will travel to Rouen or Monaco who face each other this Thursday evening in the last duel of the round of 16.
