Lille will host Dunkerque at the Stade Pierre Mauroy on Tuesday in the last 16 of the 2024-25 Coupe de France campaign. The home side have enjoyed a strong Ligue 1 campaign so far but will break from that this week as they turn their attention to cup action.
They locked horns with Olympique Marseille in the previous round of the Coupe de France, holding on for a 1-1 draw in normal time before going on to win the tie on penalties. Les Dogues are six-time winners of the domestic cup but have been knocked out at this stage of the tournament in the last two seasons and will be looking to snap that streak on Tuesday.
Dunkerque, meanwhile, saw off Bethune St, Aubervilliers and Auxerre in the first three rounds of the cup competition. They then faced Haguenau in the last 32 of the competition last month and picked up a 3-1 comeback victory over the fourth-tier outfit.

The visitors have a difficult test ahead of them this week as they look to advance to the quarterfinals of the Coupe de France for the first time since 1971.
