Match preview
There are just two all-Ligue 1 ties in the Coupe de France round of 64, one of which is this clash in Villeneuve-d’Ascq that’ll conclude a jam-packed weekend of action.
Lille were Ligue 1 champions the season before last and are six-times winers of this competition, most-recently beating PSG 1-0 in the 2011 final.
Paulo Fonseca’s side currently sit seventh in Ligue 1, following a 1-1 draw with Reims on Monday; Jonathan David the scorer.
So, of course, a top six finish and European qualification is a priority, but les Dogues will also be targeting success in this competition.
For Troyes, this season is all about survival.
With the bottom four all going down, over half the division are concerned about relegation, as Ligue 1 reduces in size to 18 clubs.
These two clubs will meet again in Ligue 1 in exactly a weeks time so, in the first of the double-header, will Lille make home advantage count at Stade Pierre-Mauroy?
