Undoubtedly the most eye-catching fixture of the round will be the match between high-flying Lille OSC, who will line-up at home against Olympique de Marseille or Olympique Lyonnais, who face-off on Wednesday night for the right to play in that fixture.
Elsewhere, the Breton derby between Stade Rennais and Lorient promises to be a fascinating encounter. The two sides last met just before Christmas at les Merlus’ Stade Moustoir, when the visitors emerged victorious, winning 2-1 thanks to late goals from Asamoah Gyan and Moussa Sow.
Grenoble, Le Mans and Monaco all face difficult trips to Ligue 2 sides, however, it is Toulouse who will have to negotiate the greatest ‘trap’ of the round as they face a Boulogne-Sur-Mer - a side that are going well in Ligue 2 and that have already dispatched Ligue 1 opposition in the form of Caen.
Paris Saint-Germain have been handed a fixture against third-flight side Rodez while Vitré, the only amateur side left in the competition, travel to Sedan.
The fixtures are due to take place on March 3 and 4.
