Who will stop AS Cannes? The French Riviera club returns to its glorious past by making a fantastic epic in the French Cup this season. An enchanted parenthesis that could be extended in the coming weeks, since the Cannes are one step from the Stade de France. The obstacle that stands on their way looks like a mountain, inevitably, since the Stade de Reims arrives with its status as a Ligue 1 team. A status superior to Grenoble, Lorient or Guingamp, the previous victims of Cannes.
For Reims, this perilous trip has everything of a trap. But the Champagne club has been full of confidence at the best time by offering itself a Gala victory against Olympique de Marseille in the maintenance race on Saturday (3-1). A result that galvanizes the Rémois for this semi-final of the Coupe de France. After a terrible crossing of the desert, Reims could give a more attractive flavor to its end of the season by saving its place in the elite and by offering itself a final of the Coupe de France against the Parisian Ogre.
The expected compos
Cannes: Vanni – Vinci, Smith, Abderrahmane, Fischer – Gonçalves, N'Doye, N'Diaye – Abbas, Domingues, Mambu.
Reims: Diouf – Buta, Kipré, Okumu, Akieme – Atangana, Gbane, Am. Koné – Ito, Diakhon, Nakamura.
