LOSC Lille and Troyes will go head-to-head at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy in the Round of 64 of the Coupe de France on Sunday (January 8).
The hosts head into the weekend unbeaten in eight games across competitions and will look to keep the ball rolling.
Lille were denied a fifth win on the spin on Monday when they were held to a 1-1 draw by Stade de Reims. However, they're unbeaten in eight games across competitions, which has seen them rise to seventh in the Ligue 1 standings.
Lille have now turned their sights to the Coupe de France, where they will look to better last season’s Round of 16 exit and win a seventh title.
Meanwhile, Troyes returned to winning ways in their first outing of the new year, edging out Strasbourg 3-2 last Monday.
Before that, they were on an eight-game winless run, claiming five draws and losing three since September. Manager Patrick Kisnorbo will hope that Monday’s result can serve as a springboard for a fine run of form as Troyes look to kick off their cup run on a high.
