2. How far will Le Puy Foot and Espaly go in the Coupe de France?
We could think that the 2023-2024 edition of the Coupe de France would never be equaled in Haute-Loire. But the next one may already be overtaking it. With two clubs in 16esthe department is experiencing a new adventure never seen before and is crossing its fingers that it does not stop there.
For Espaly (N3), who are preparing to receive the ogre PSG at the Marcel-Michelin stadium in Clermont-Ferrand, this would be normality… But the Altiligerians can count on this Espaviot group to do them honor, whatever the following the match on January 15.
Le Puy back to Geoffroy-Guichard?
The day before, the chances of passing one more round will be much greater for Le Puy Foot (N2). The flagship club of the department inherited a draw which clearly did not make it happy, but which has the merit of offering an affordable match. Far from Massot's jubilation on the occasion of a never-before-seen defeat for a fourth division club against a Ligue 1 club (4-0 against Montpellier), we will still have to get out of the quagmire of Dives-Cabourg (N3).
If they pass this obstacle, the Ponots will be back at a level reached in 2021 and 2023. And whatever happens in the draw for the eighth, we will know this club is capable of anything, to dream of a new quarter, a year later, with a return to Geoffroy-Guichard?
