Football Prediction
It will be the first time the team from Normandy will be in this stage in this century having pulled off a massive upset, defeating the holders Toulouse, 12-11 on penalties, while Les Monegasques won 3-1 against Rodez.
The hosts shone in the CFA last season to gain promotion with 69 points from 30 games, but things are not going so well in the National League. Maxime D’Ornano’s side currently sits 7th in the table and have lost each of their last two league games.
H2H / Stats
Monaco have lost their last two visits to Stade Robert Diochon, losing their previous away match there to Rouen in 1984-85 (2-1 in Division 1), but they have never suffered a Coupe de France defeat against them, winning their previous last 16 tie in 1973-74, 6-1 on aggregate.
Team News
Rouen will be without Ruffice Amede Kabongo, who ruptured his Achilles last month, while Adon Gomis tore his cruciate ligament and will not be available either.
Folarin Balogun is not expected to return to the Monaco fold until the middle of February because of a shoulder injury, while Caio Henrique and Breel Embolo are out with cruciate ligament tears.
Probable Line Up
Rouen XI: Aggoune; Sy, Bouzamoucha, Sanson, Bassin, Mion; Bernasque, Benzia, Bezzekhami; Loppy, Benkaid
Monaco XI: Majecki; Salisu, Maripan, Kehrer; Vanderson, Diop, Magassa, Ouattara; Akliouche, Minamino; Ben Yedder
Verdict
Rouen might have eliminated Toulouse in the last round but they will be coming against a Monaco side who are determined to win a trophy this season with their Ligue 1 chances looking bleak.
