Coupe de France: OM will receive PSG for a boiling Classic in the 8th, clash between Lyon and Lille


Double dose of Classic in the coming weeks? Federico Pestellini / Panoramic

The draw for the round of 16 took place on Monday on the airwaves of bein Sports.

The 8th finals of the Coupe de France promise to be boiling. And this because the draw, carried out this Monday on the antennas of bein Sports, allowed the two best enemies of French football to meet. Winners of Rennes in 16th (1-0), the Marseillais have indeed an appointment with Paris Saint-Germain. It will be February 7 or 8 at the Vélodrome stadium. In terms of calendar, this Classic will take place one week before the reception of Bayern Munich in the knockout stages of the Champions League for the Parisians (February 14).

Which Parisians, on a ride against the R1 club (6 div.) of the US Pays de Cassel this Monday, will be entitled to a hell of a program in the weeks to come: they will successively face Monaco, OM, Bayern, Lille and again OM from February 12 to 26! The two eternal rivals have indeed an appointment on February 26, still at the Vél but within the framework of the 25th day of Ligue 1. The last time that the two teams crossed paths was in mid-October, at the Parc des Princes, with a 1-0 victory for Christophe Galtier’s men.

The Gones attack the Mastiffs

However, OM-PSG will not be the only clash on the menu during these round of 16 of the Coupe de France. Olympique Lyonnais will indeed have to do battle with Lille. Two clubs currently outside the nails for the European places in the Ligue 1 classification and which therefore have a lot of appetite in this cup… Several other posters between L1 clubs, Toulouse-Reims, Lorient-Lens and also the duel between the Angevin red lantern and the holder of the title from Nantes. For the rest, little Poucet de Vierzon (N2) will challenge Grenoble (L2). 100% Ligue 2 duel with Paris FC-Annecy. Remember that the final is scheduled for Saturday, April 29 on the lawn of the Stade de France.
