Bastia and Lorient go head to head at Stade Armand Cesari in what is expected to be an interesting Coupe de France game. Bastia survived Evreux in the previous round, but they will have a big fish to fry against les Merlus. Experienced forward Benjamin Santelli could earn a spot in the starting XI after scoring the winner as a substitute in the Ligue 2 game against Pau FC.
Meanwhile, the Ligue 1 side aim to bounce back from a 3-1 loss to Marseille. Lorient are not regarded as good travellers, but seeing that they crushed Chataigneraie 6-0 on the road in the last 32, away win should be considered. Both Julien Laporte and Theo Le Bris are out of contention through injuries, while Mali international Ibrahima Kone is widely expected to return to the starting XI.
