The draw for the 7th round of the Coupe de France has set up a duel between the last club from Maine-et-Loire and Deux-Sèvres, with a possible 8th round against FC Nantes.
The draw for the 7th round of the Coupe de France took place this Wednesday, October 28, at Roland-Garros. For the last remaining representative of Maine-et-Loire still in the running, the fixture is an away trip or rather a home game. Saint-André-Saint-Macaire will host FC Neuillaubiers, a club from Deux-Sèvres, in this round.
This match promises to be an important step for the Saint-André-Saint-Macaire side, the department's last hope before Angers-SCO enter the competition in the 9th round. The club must first get past their opponents to keep the Coupe de France adventure alive.
The winner of this clash would be handed a major challenge in the next round. Indeed, the next opponent will be either Stade Castelbourgeois or FC Nantes. An enticing prospect for local football fans, who could see their team take on a Ligue 1 club.
Meanwhile, the priority remains this 7th-round tie against Nueillaubiers. The two sides will have to battle it out on the pitch, hoping to continue their run in this knockout competition. The full 7th-round draw holds other matchups, but attention will focus particularly on this duel between Maine-et-Loire and Deux-Sèvres.
