Stade de Reims will only want to be the fourth Ligue 1-side in the quarterfinals of the Coupe de France while closing the round of 16 with a draw to N3 Side Bourgoin-Jallieu on Thursday evening.
There have been many scorers in the Coupe de France of this season with OGC Nice and Toulouse FC, the newest clubs to compete against lower opposition. Reims will want to avoid a similar fate. They compete against Bourgoin-Jallieu with Samba Diawara, who is taking the lead for the first time this season about Les Stadistes.
He was placed in interim loading, perhaps until the end of the season, after firing Luka Elsner earlier this week. Diawara also took interim load at the end of last season when Will still made a hasty departure. He will not be able to call Joseph Okumu, suspended for the draw.
