Prediction: 1-1
Reims
Reims Ste Anne and Reims face each other in the local derby at Stade Auguste-Delaune. A place in the Coupe de France last 32 is at stake, and, no doubt, there will be fireworks in Sunday’s showdown. Reims Ste Anne did well to beat Magny 3-0 in the previous round, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against their local rivals from the Ligue 1.
Les Rouges et Blancs, on the other hand, did well to beat St Etienne in their last league match, meaning that they high on spirits ahead of the French Cup clash. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards as the hosts are going to leave their hearts on the field. All Marshall Munetsi, Fode Doucoure, Fraser Hornby, and Arber Zeneli are all out of contention with injuries for the Ligue 1 outfit.
Highlighted Player (Moussa Doumbia):
A Malian midfielder Moussa Doumbia has been with Russian side FK Rostov since 2014. The 22-year-old powerful midfielder started his career with Real Bamako in 2012. Doumbia spent two years playing for the Scorpions in the Malien Premiere Division, the top rank in the country. Russian side recognised his talent and made a transfer in 2014 tying Moussa Doumbia on a four-year deal.
During two seasons with Russian Premier League outfit, Doumbia was involved in 31 league matches. In 2015-16 season he contributed to his club’s runners-up finish with two goals of his own. Full-time Mali international made his national team debut in 2014 in a 3-1 victory over China in Shenzen.

Highlighted Team (Reims):
Reims are a French football club founded in 1931. Reims welcome their rivals at Stade Auguste Delaune, which can hold up to 21,684 people. Believe it or not, Reims won six Ligue 1 titles (1948/1949, 1952/1953, 1954/1955, 1957/1958, 1959/1960, 1961/1962). To make things even better for the fans, Reims participated in the European Cup final on two occasions.
In 1956 they faced Real Madrid in the title game and despite taking the lead after six minutes, the French side eventually suffered a 4-3 loss to los Blancos at Parc des Princes. Three years later Reims had a chance to get their revenge on Real Madrid, but the Spanish giants once again won the European Cup, with Mateos and Di Stefano finding the net in the 2-0 victory over Albert Batteux.
The club’s most notable footballer is Just Fontaine, who scored 13 goals for France at the 1958 FIFA World Cup finals. Reims’ home colours are red and white, with the team wearing white when playing on the road.
