National 2 side Bergerac will be up against Ligue 1 side Saint-Etienne in the Round of 16 of the French Cup, looking to eliminate another topflight team. Bergerac have already dumped out one Ligue 1 side – Metz, in the Round of 64 and here they will sense they can move closer to the prize. They take to this game a very good run, unbeaten in the last 15 matches, and will be confident despite the gap between them and Saint-Etienne. In their last five matches, Bergerac have not conceded a goal, but they’ve drawn four, winning two on post match penalties and one in 90 minutes. They scored just one goal in the five matches and as a result, each of the five matches has produced under 2.5 goals. Five wins and five draws is their run at home in the last 10 games.

Saint-Etienne aren’t doing well in the season; they are bottom of the Ligue 1 standings and prime candidates for relegation. They face a side that already eliminated a topflight team doing better than them and Saint-Etienne will have to be cautious about this. Saint-Etienne have suffered seven losses in their last 10 matches and in those 10 matches they have just two clean sheets. While they play in a much superior league, they will lack the fear factor here, and their confidence must be running low having managed more than a goal in just one of their last 11 matches. They are coming from a 1-0 win over Angers in Ligue 1, their third win in the last 10 games and six of their last 10 matches have produced under 2.5 goals.
