Bourgoin Jallieu-Reims, the probable formations

The last match of the French Cup round of 16 sees Reims away to Bourgoin-Jallieu. The home team surprised everyone by eliminating Lyon on penalties, a historic feat for an amateur club. Reims, fresh off a loss to Nantes in the league and a penalty shootout win in the cup against Monaco, continues to show potential, but lacks continuity.

The home team will take the field with a 3-4-1-2 with Jay in goal, Mbaé right arm, W. Mendy on the left and Nirlo a central defender. J. Mendy will actà on the right flank as outside back, while Imbert on the left. Forward, a two-man attack composed of Kohser and Bozkurt.

The visiting team responds with 4-2-3-1: Diouf in goal, Edoa and Patrick will be the two midfielders and will have the task of protecting the defense. On the three-quarter will act; Kone, supported by Ito on the right and Diakhon on the left. In attack, the'only center forward will be Diakité.
