Stade de Reims and Bastia cross swords in the Round of 16 of the Coupe de France. The hosts had to overcome Reims Sainte-Anne Chatillions and Thaon in the previous rounds to set up this Round of 16 tie with Ligue 2 side Bastia. The visitors beat Fougères, Les Herbiers, Hauts Lyonnais and Clermont to set up this key tie with Bastia. Stade de Reims have not scored a single goal in their last three matches and come into the game with a daunting 4-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Ligue 1. They are currently placed fourteenth in the league and are struggling to score enough goals to propel them up the league table. Reims lack quality up front to score goals and this could be a issue against a defensive side like Bastia. They have had under 2.5 goals in six out of their last eight matches.

Bastia are sixteenth in the Ligue 2 and also bring in an under par scoring performance into the tie. They have only scored goals in three out of their last five matches, indicating a recent slump in form. Bastia also have had under 2.5 goals in seven out of their last eleven matches with their latest result being a goalless draw with Toulouse. The last two meetings between the two teams also have had under 2.5 goals.
