- Venue: Stade Robert Diochon
We are set for an exciting contest on Thursday night as Rouen and Monaco face off in the French Cup’s round of 16.
In the last season, the hosts excelled in the CFA, earning promotion with a total of 69 points from 30 games. However, their performance in the National League has been less impressive. Maxime D’Ornano’s team currently ranks 7th in the league and has suffered defeats in their last two matches. Despite this, the Red Devils can find comfort in their previous victory against Ligue 1 team Toulouse in the French Cup’s last 32, paving the way for their upcoming Thursday game.
Since the previous season, Monaco has been experiencing a decline. In the 2023-24 season, the team led by Adi Hütter ended up outside the top five in Ligue 1 and currently, they are in fifth place. Their only victory in the last five games was a 3-1 win over Rodez in the last 32, a match Les Monégasques comfortably won.
Rouen vs Monaco Betting Tips: Both teams to score
FC Rouen, although labeled as clear underdogs for Thursday’s game at the Stade Robert Diochon, should not be dismissed. In their previous four home matches, The Red Devils have averaged two goals per game. Moreover, in three out of these four games, both teams have managed to score.
This season, Monaco’s defence has been their Achilles’ heel. This is notably evident as they have let in more goals than any other team in the upper half of the French Ligue 1. Adi Hütter’s team comes into this match after a streak of eight games without a clean sheet. Also, “both teams to score-yes” bets have been successful in their last six matches.

Rouen team news
FC Rouen’s head coach Maxime D’Ornano will once again not have the services of Adon Gomis and Ruffice Amédé Kabongo due to their respective cruciate ligament and tendon injuries.
Both Sofyane Bouzamoucha and Valentin Sanson scored in the round of 32 and will again be central to the defence lineup. Meanwhile, all eyes will be on Omar Bezzekhami in midfield.
