The draw for the 5th round of the Coupe de France, organized Tuesday evening in Lyon, reserved 100% of home matches for the last nine Ligeriens (pending ASSE), not for the last five Altiligère clubs since Espaly could be the only one to play at home.
Shocks for L’Étrat, Feurs and Saint-Priest-en-Jarez
On the younger side, Bussières (D2), the last district club in the two departments, can believe it against FC Valence (R3) which only plays, two divisions above. Like Brives-Charensac (R3), who will have to wait for the League’s decision about 4e round between Saint-Yorre (D1) and Dompierre (R3) which ended in a general brawl. Both teams could even be excluded from the competition…
For the other posters, L’Etrat, Feurs and Saint-Priest-en-Jarez will have a hard time facing teams from N2 and N3 while Le Puy and Monistrol will have to remain serious on the road.
