The meeting between Nantes and Lyon will be the main shock of the sixteenth finals of the Coupe de France, which will also see Paris SG move to Lorient, current second in Ligue 2, according to the draw carried out on Monday.
A second 100% Ligue 1 poster will pit Dijon against Nîmes. He could have a third if Metz defeats Rouen (N2) on Monday evening.
The other Ligue 1 clubs were spared by the draw, like the title holder, Rennes, who will meet Athletico Marseille (N3), from Lille who will go to Gonfreville (N3), or from Strasbourg to Angoulême (N2).
The Normans of Granville (N2) will find them Olympique de Marseille, who ended their epic in 2016 at the quarter-final stage (1-0).
Saint-Pryvé Saint-Hilaire, who fell from Toulouse in the 32nd, has again inherited a + gros + and will receive Monaco.
Conversely, the Petit Poucet of the competition, Saint-Pierroise (R1) will be content with a trip to Epinal, National 2 club to hope to become the first overseas team to reach the 8th finals.
The round of 16 takes place on January 18 and 19. Lyon, still in the League Cup Wednesday against Brest, will therefore not have a break in its marathon at the start of the year, which also sees it face Bordeaux on January 11 in Ligue 1.
