Rouen and Valenciennes face each other in the quarter-final of the Coupe de France, this Wednesday (9 p.m.). Here is all the essential information on this match.
There will be a little Thumb in the last four of the Coupe de France, for this 2023-24 edition. Rouen, National 1 team, challenges Valenciennes, Ligue 2 club, to try to continue its formidable epic. After having brought down Toulouse and Monaco, the Norman club is expecting a real trap match against a less flashy name, but still higher in the hierarchy.
“ For me it’s the hardest of the last three we’ve hadexplained Maxime d’Ornano, the coach of FC Rouen. It’s quite common for teams in difficulty in their championship to make cup runs. And as we have just beaten two Ligue 1s (Toulouse and Monaco), we will practically be favorites. But we must not forget that it is a Ligue 2, with Ligue 2 players who play in Ligue 2 all year round at a Ligue 2 pace. The difference is already there”.

Rouen : Aggoune – Bouzamoucha, Sanson, Bassin – Sy, Benzia, Allée, Mion – Adbelmoula, Benkaid, Loppy.
