Rouen is set to clash with Monaco in the round of 16 in the Coupe de France. Rouen caused a major upset in the previous round by defeating reigning champions Toulouse in a penalty shootout, with an astonishing scoreline of 12-11.

Their encounter with Toulouse was intense, featuring four goals in the first half, ending 2-2. Bouzamoucha added another for Rouen in the 64th minute, but Toulouse managed to equalize dramatically in the 90+2nd minute, leading to a final score of 3-3 and ultimately penalties.

However, Rouen’s recent form in the league National has been less than stellar, suffering two consecutive losses, including a 1-2 defeat against Versailles.

On the other hand, Monaco enters the match after two consecutive draws in league play, the latest being a 1-1 draw against Le Havre.

They comfortably progressed to this round with a 1-3 victory over Rodez, with Ben Yedder netting a hat-trick.

As the underdogs in this game, Rouen has nothing to lose and may attempt to replicate their success against Toulouse.

Nonetheless, Monaco boasts superior attacking prowess, indicating a likely victory for them in what could be a high-scoring encounter.
