Jean-Luc Arribart, Versailles coach, spoke before the match: "We have to go for a final. With a gap of four divisions, we can't afford to slip up. The stress won't be on our shoulders. Nice is the big favorite, but things can happen in the Cup that seem impossible. Gymnasium has struggled at home against the minnows. And we are a small team, who do well away from home. We qualified in Toulouse (L2) and in Bergerac (N2), which had not scored a goal in the competition. Our chances are slim, but we're going to make the most of them.

Nice come into this match with 37 goals scored, while they have 21 goals conceded in Ligue 1, so they will be looking for the goal with all their might.

Versailles is already present at the Nice stadium, where it will try to make its presence felt and support its team to qualify for the final.

Christophe Galtier spoke before the match against Versailles: "As for the cards issued, it depends on the interpretation of the referee. Mrs. Frappart made decisions. Where there is debate is in the way Justin (Kluivert) was sent off. He was sent off for obscene gestures towards the fourth official. That's where I get angry, there was never any obscene gesture on Justin's part. There is an interpretation of a gesture that the fourth official took as an obscene gesture."

"I'll say it again, I hope we go further in this competition and that we have a final to play, but I repeat that I didn't give this competition to Marcin. I make him play because I want the goalkeepers to be available and perform well at the end of the season. We are involved on two fronts. In the league, we see that everything is very tight. We can't base European soccer on the Coupe de France alone. You never know what can happen between now and the end of the season, there can be injuries, suspensions, and I want my two goalkeepers to be ready, operational and well."

"I have no problem meeting with AS Monaco. We have to support the Ukrainian people, Ukrainian sportsmen, and in particular the footballers and coaches, but we can't hold it against all people of Russian nationality."

Versailles are ranked lower than Nice, so they will be looking to prove why they got to this game and beat Nice.

Nice comes into this match after a goalless draw against Strasbourg and is in third place, just one point behind Marseille, so it has everything it needs to qualify for the final.

The Nice vs Versailles match will be played at the Allianz Riviera Stadium, located in Nice, France. The stadium has a capacity of 36,100 people.
