Preview, Team News, and Possible Lineups

Evreux

The hosts beat Grand Quevilly in their last French Cup match, the score was 1-0. That is the kind of opponent that Evreux is used to when playing on their level.

They are competing in the Fourth Tier of the league system, and many of their games provide a high level of entertainment with lots of goals scored free football betting tips. Evreux players will have to recognize that this match won't be the same.

Possible lineups: Lefebvre, B. Mendes, Borja, Kabongo, Giboyau, Valentin, Verrisimo, Emmanuel, J.P. Mendy, F. Mendy, I. Mendes.

Bastia

The visitors will use the Cup competition to further make a progress in their form. They have been hovering around the relegation zone in Ligue 2 for some time, but two wins in a row against Caen and Valenciennes gave them some breathing space and a lot of positives coming into this French Cup match at Evreux. There are many teams in the Second Division that have trouble scoring a goal, and Bastia is one of them. They have 16 recorded goals in 17 matches which isn't good enough to give them a better ranking, rather it puts them in a position to look behind their backs most of the time during this troubling season. It's somewhat surprising to see how Bastia is struggling to score goals when they usually play an attacking-minded formation 3-4-3. But, they have a couple of important problems. Midfield doesn't create enough opportunities for the attack, and no center-forward can score goals consistently. Frank Magri is their best scorer with only three goals.

Potential Lineups, Preview, and Team News

Linas-Montlhery

Going against a team like Lens will be a monumental task for this small club, but it's a challenge they will enjoy, alongside their fans. They were fighting hard in earlier rounds to get where they are now, with two games won in penalty shootouts. In their last match, they beat Paris 13 Atletico by the score of 2-1. Linas-Montlhery is playing in the National 3 league for the Paris region, and they are struggling this season. The league has 14 clubs, and Linas-Montlhery is second from the bottom with only three wins out of eleven matches. They have the worst defense in the league allowing 21 goals which is the highest mark out of any team. Their attack line can't balance it out, and that means losses are piling up. They have seven at the moment, the same as the last-placed CS Bretigny. The interesting thing about this club is its massive squad size. There are no less than 38 players in the system.

Potential lineup: Diallo, Kouassi, Camara, Tchabo, Baroudi, Tsota, Duval, Cayrel, Makubama, Cisse, Leno.

Lens

After a stunning win over PSG over the weekend, it has been a good start to the week for the second-placed team in France's top division. Lens is only four points away from PSG who are still leading the charge. Coach Franck Haise is expected to rest some of his best players for this Cup tie, which was to be expected after they had a couple of games in a matter of days. That doesn't mean, however, that they are not interested in the competition, it just means that this is a chance for the coach to get some other players, who were not involved recently, playing time to prove themselves. There are also multiple injuries within the team: Wuilker Farinez, Jimmy Cabot, David Costa, and Adam Buksa are all injured. Lens' priorities this season are more than obvious, they feel like they have a chance to push PSG for the title to the very end. Of course, with that battle goes the fact they are close to competing in the Champions League next season.

Potential lineup: Samba, Medina, Gradit, Haidara, Le Cardinal, Onana, Y. Fofana, Frankowski, Claude-Maurice, Said, Openda.
