the shocks to follow from the 5th round

The Coupe de France is already back. Two weeks after playing its fourth round, the competition will now turn to its fifth this Saturday October 12 and Sunday October 13, notably with the entry into the running of the National clubs. The opportunity to take a look, region by region, at the shocks to follow at the end of the week.

Coupe de France: the program for the 5th round, region by region

Pays-de-la-Loire

In Pays-de-la-Loire, one of the duels to follow in this fifth round is that between Vertou, the current ninth in group B of National 3, and Poiré-sur-Vie, bottom of group B of National 2. Two teams who must use the Coupe de France to find some color. At the same time, Ambrières-Cigné will return to Le Mans (N1). A year after having already faced the Sarthe Sang et Or at the same stage of the competition, the resident of Regional 3 will face them again. With the desire to do better than the previous season (14-0 elimination).

Center-Val-de-Loire

In Centre-Val-de-Loire, a National 3 duel is particularly worth watching. It pits the sixth in group F, Vierzon, against the bottom of this same group, FC Ouest-Tourangeau. The two teams will meet in the championship on November 9, in Vierzon. In the meantime, on to the Cup. Beaten for the first time this season in the championship this weekend, Blois Foot 41 (National 2) will have a lot to do to avoid the trap set by Châteauneuf, tenth in group F of N3.

Corse

In Corsica, everything is open to join the 6th round. FC Balagne, still undefeated in National 2, will face Corte (N3), while Sud FC (N3) will be faced with Gazélec Ajaccio (R1) ready to restore its image. Casinca-Bonifacio and Gallia Lucciana-AFA are the other two meetings of this 5th round on the Isle of Beauty.

Burgundy-Franche-Comté

In Burgundy-Franche-Comté, a few duels between Regional 1 and National 3 are planned. This is the case between Vesoul (R1) and Pontarlier (N3), Mâcon (N3) and Sens (R1) or even La Chapelle Guinchay (R1) and ASPTT Dijon (N3). A Dijon derby will mainly pit the Cheminots de Dijon (R1) against the DFCO (N1), which is entering the fray. Just like Sochaux and its clash of extremes against Espérance de Besançon (D2).

Great East

In the Grand-Est, a gala poster awaits the Sangliers de Sedan. Promoted to Regional 2 this season, the Sedanais, who started with three victories and a draw in the championship, have a meeting with Thaon (N3). The Vosges club has been a regular in the Cup for several years. Last year, it was Amiens (Ligue 2) who had to work to stop EST in the 8th round. But this time beware of the CSSA and its fervent audience in Dugaugez. Note in this region the entry into contention of AS Nancy Lorraine (N1) on the lawn of Diane Eurville Bienville (R3), a year after having taken the door in the 7th round against Reipertswiller (R1).

Mediterranean

Like Corsica, the noose is tightening in the Mediterranean. Enough to reserve a few shocks, like the 100% N2 between Istres and Fréjus! After eliminating another fourth division club, in this case Hyères FC, during the previous round, Istres will have the opportunity to take their revenge since the two teams were opposed this weekend in the championship. In Var, it was Étoile which took over the Bouches-du-Rhône club (3-1). For its part, AS Cannes, in difficulty in group A of N2 and just separated from its coach Fabien Pujo, will have to do battle with Villefranche/Mer, dead last in group J of N3 (1 pt).

Occitanie

In Occitania, no real shock on the program, except for duels between National 3 and Regional 1. Balma (R1) is expected in Alès (N3), having just come down from National 2, and Agde (N3) will have to pass on the grounds of Union Saint-Estève Perpignan to catch a glimpse of the 6th round. For its part, Nimes (N1) enters the fray on the lawn of Aimargues, a Regional 2 club.

Hauts-de-France

In the north, big shock to come between two residents of group C of National 2! Fourth in the group, US Chantilly, promoted, has a meeting with FC Chambly, eleventh. Stéphane Masala’s men have finally launched their season this weekend, dominating FC 93 (3-2). The first success of their season. Chantilly, for its part, stood up to leader Fleury (0-0). In this same group, Wasquehal will also have a lot to do with the reception of Saint-Quentin (N3). Or two teams in difficulty in their respective championships.

Normandie

In Normandy, it is the meeting between the two National 3 clubs, Flers and Vire, which will animate this fifth round. The two teams occupy eighth and fourth places respectively in Group C, and will face each other on January 18 in the championship. For Rouen (N1), quarter-finalist last season against Valenciennes after having dismissed Toulouse (L1) and Monaco (L1), mistrust on the lawn of Trouville-Deauville (R1).

Brittany

It is a tricky match that Saint-Brieuc will open the fifth round in Brittany. Ninth in Group B of National 2, Stade Briochin will have to deliver on the Lannion field. The Côtes-d’Armor club occupies last place in its group in National 3.

Paris-Ile-de-France

In Ile-de-France, no big poster is particularly on the agenda. We can note the entries in the running of Versailles (N1) and Paris 13 Atletico (N1), respectively expected on the lawns of Orsay Bures (D1) and Charenton (R2). Boulogne-Billancourt (R2), winner in quick succession of two N3s in the previous rounds, will for its part challenge Meaux, another resident of Regional 2.

Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

Finally, in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, several meetings will be particularly worth following. This will first be the case with the confrontation between Lyon-La Duchère (N3) and Villefranche (N1). Not a real gift for the Caladois, who made their entry into the running by a perilous trip to the Lyon suburbs. Also station at Bourg-Péronnas (N1) on the Annonay area. The resident of R3 took the scalp of Andézieux (N2) in the previous round. Finally, Bourgoin-Jallieu (N3) will also have to avoid the trap set by US Feurs (R1) on Sunday.

New Aquitaine

Draw coming this Monday, October 7, at 7:30 p.m.
