Bergerac Perigord and Saint-Etienne will lock horns in the French Cup last-16 round at the Stade de Campreal on Sunday. The kick-off is at 19:30 CEST.

Preview

Bergerac Perigord have enjoyed an impressive season in the Championnat National 2 as they continue to lead the  the French fourth-tier table after 16 games this term. What's more, Erwan Lannuzel's have already eliminated Ligue 1's Metz from the French Cup on penalties back in December before seeing off third-tier Creteil in a similar fasion earlier this month.

Now, Bergerac, who are on a 15-match unbeaten streak in all competitions since September, will be looking to make it to the competition's quarter-final against Saint-Etienne who have been all but miserable in the French top flight this season so far. Pascal Dupraz's side have found themselves at the very bottom of the Ligue 1 table, two points adrift of 19th-placed Lorient, even after a 1-0 win over Angers on Wednesday - their first league victory in three months.

Team news

While the hosts have no confirmed absentee for this clash, the visitors will be without Wahbi Khazri, Harold Moukoudi and Yvan Neyou who are all still away at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Prediction

Even if Saint-Etienne suffered seven straight league defeats before their mid-week triumph over Angers, Dupraz's crop had little problem beating lower-league Lyon La Duchere (1-0) and Jura Sud Foot (4-1) in the French Cup's previous rounds. Hence, we'd rather stick with the Greens in this encounter, given the three-division gap between them and Bergerac Perigord.
