Potential Lineups, Team News, and Preview
Strasbourg-Koengishoffen
There is a more familiar team from Strasbourg, but that one is no longer participating in the Cup competition. Strasbourg-Koengishoffen is a small club on an amateur level. It is an old club that has over one hundred years of age, and they never had any success in the higher echelon of French football. There were a few occasions when they managed to advance to the round of 64 but then failed at the first tougher hurdle. This season it has been different. After beating Gandrange 1-0, and Louhans Cuiseaux by the score of 2-1, they face a Ligue 1 side in Clermont. By winning after the penalty shootout, they made history for their club and the competition itself. Facing Angers there will be no pressure just like against Clermont, the only thing they could do is to try and make history once again.
Potential lineup: Bahloul, Latreche, Herceg, Mouakit, Donzelot, Tine, Toure, Ly, Weiss, Boujaafar, Sidow.
Angers
The Ligue 1 side already won one game against a Strasbourg team, couple of weeks ago they beat their fellow Top Division opponents after the penalties. Ironically, they lost to Clermont in their last Ligue 1 match. Advancing in the Cup is, right now, the only positive ambition Angers has after all the bad results they have endured during the season in Ligue 1. They are at the very bottom with only eight points, and it looks likely they will be relegated back to the Second Division. They have only won twice the entire season, and that speaks volumes about the quality of their team, or lack there off. They have been a constant in France's Top Division since 2015, and it will be heartbreaking for their fans to lose that place. Angers never won the Cup, but they did make a couple of finals appearances, the first one in 1957, and the latest one in 2017. Another tricky aspect of the visit to Strasbourg-Koengishoffen is their long injury list. Ilyes Chetti, Halid Sabanovic, Ibrahim Amadou, Yahia Fofana, Ali Kalla, and Ulrick Eneme-Ella are out with injuries.
Potential lineup: Bernardoni, Capelle, Blazic, Hountondji, Bamba, Bentaleb, Mendy, Boufal, Hunou, El Melali, Salama.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
Player to Watch: Sofiane Boufal
The Morocco international player is Angers' best scorer this season with four goals, and he also added three assists. There aren't many players in the visiting team's ensemble that could be counted on to perform at a high level, but Boufal is certainly one to look for when they make their move forward.
