On the 6th of January, Pau will host Montpellier in a clash of the Coupe de France.

Bilal Boutobba struck first for Niort in the 15th minute, then Renel added another in the 50th minute. With 17 points in their last 10 matches Pau should be reasonably happy with their performance, while in their last match, Montpellier recorded a 1-2 loss against Olympique Marseille. Nuno Tavares struck first for Olympique Marseille in the 47th minute, then Esteve added another on an own goal in the 61st minute on a feed from Cengiz Ünder.
