Our prediction for this Coupe de France match:
Lille
Match Time & Date:

20:00
Prediction: 4-0
Pau FC
Lille will be aiming to book their place in the Coupe de France last 16 when they welcome Pau FC to their Stade Pierre-Mauroy on Sunday. Les Dogues are brimming with confidence following a splendid 5-1 win over Troyes, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Adam Ounas has joined the likes of Andre Gomes, Ismaily, Jonas Martin, Jonathan Bamba, and Gabriel Gudmundsson in the recovery room.
The Ligue 2 side, on the other hand, have been struggling in front of goal of late, and seeing that Lille have turned their stadium into a real fortress, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. Costa Rica international Mayron George Clayton could sneak into the starting XI after finding the net in a 2-1 win over Montpellier in the previous round.
