Thionville vs Marseille Prediction

Thionville completed a shock turnaround in the last round when they came from behind to win Ligue 2 opponents Annecy to get to this stage. They will face an even bigger test when they welcome one of the biggest sides in French football on Sunday

Marseille have had another inconsistent campaign and have already been managed by three different managers this term. The Olympians have won the Coupe de France on 10 occasions but have not triumphed in this competition for over 34 years. Their hopes of ending this drought start on Sunday and they will fancy their chances of progressing against a side in the fifth-tier of French football.

The visitors are the heavy favorites and anything other than a comfortable win will be considered an upset. We are backing Gennaro Gattuso's side to cruise to the next round with a comfortable win.
