Rouen – Monaco : Preview & Prediction
This is the last round of the French Cup. National 1 side FC Rouen are one of this year’s surprise packages. They pulled off a remarkable feat in the previous round, overcoming defending champions Toulouse on penalties. Maxime D’Ornano’s team, however, are still lacking in confidence ahead of this new round of the French national cup. They have just lost their last 2 National 1 matches, to Nîmes Olympique (2-0) and Versailles 78 (1-2). FC Rouen are now in 7th place in France’s third division. It’s not going to be easy this Thursday at 8.45pm, when they take on AS Monaco. The latter must quickly lift their heads. They have taken just 2 points from their last 3 Ligue 1 matches. As a result, they have slipped back to 5th in the standings. The club from the principality will certainly be looking to reassure themselves in the Coupe de France. Having beaten Rodez AF in the previous round (1-3), the Monegasque team will have no intention of easing off against a National 1 club. AS Monaco will have everything they need to make their mark and reach the quarter-finals with ease.
AS Monaco are in 5th place in Ligue 1.

They have a Round of 8 clash with a National 1 team well within their grasp. They have no intention of wavering in their quest for a place in the next round. We’re expecting him to score a big win.
