The draw for the 5th round of the Coupe de France made Thursday evening at an excessively late hour in the premises of Crédit Agricole in Champagne-au-Mont-d’Or and which concerning 14 teams from the Rhône will spice up the weekend of the 17th and 18th October.
This round sees the entry of the National 1 formations. For the occasion the Sporting Club de Lyon will move to the Beaumontoise (R2). While Villefranche will have to support the trip to Valence (R1). For these two clubs the opportunity will be good to put their heads right after a difficult start to the championship.
National 2 clubs will have a fairly varied menu. Saint-Priest will try to avoid the reef of Thiers. Limonest 8th finalist last year will be wary of Neuville’s neighbor. And Grand Ouest Association Lyon (GOAL) will try to channel Bourg.
Chassieu-Décines, who has just brilliantly eliminated Chambéry (Nat 3) and Vénissieux residents of R1 will pass fine tests ahead of Bourgoin and Bron. Chassieu Décines, who would like to position himself to play the climb to Nat 3, had been able to go all the way to the 7th round last season. And has ideas. Vénissieux FC for its part, the result of a historic merger (between AS Minguettes and US Vénissieux) which is starting to take shape does not want to give up anything.
Sud Lyonnais (R2) will try to hold on to Feurs. Montchat who takes a liking to the test will be wary of his trip to Amplepuis, author of a fine feat in front of Bords de Saône. Everything will be open for Meyzieu in front of Salaize and Craponne in front of Saint-Martin d’Hères. Meyzieu, who has undertaken enormous in-depth work to regain a superb place at the regional level, can also use the cup. A 5th round is not sold out.
