Pre-match
Florimond Labulle, leader of a project to take over the club, is present this evening at René-Gaillard, alongside Joël Coué in particular.
In terms of composition, Damien Charron decided to use his usual starters. Slightly injured recently, Bosc took his place on the bench and was replaced by Adramann in the starting lineup.
> NIORT : Mayoulika (cap.) – Hérode, Lim, Chasseport – Adramann, Traoré, Camara, Royer, Audo – Tamou, Gomis.
> ORLÉANS : Matimbou – Thérésin, Giraudon, Baudry – Halby Touré, Benbella, Bretelle, Goujon (cap.), Cartillier – Sylla, Iva.
For this Coupe de France poster, Damien Charron selected a group of 16 elements. Present in training recently, Godwin Bentil is not present, just like Junior Abdourahamani, now gone to Chauray after his double against Ozon.
On the Orléans side, Hervé Della Maggiore had to integrate a few young people due to several injuries. Thus, El Khoumisti, Berthier, D'Arpino and Ghorzi are absent, as are Testud and Khous, suspended, but also Ponti, Jean-Pierre and Do Marcolino, selected for selection.
