**Coupe de France chaos incoming.** Vendée Fontenay—a regional fifth-tier side—gets a glamour draw at home against Ligue 2 outfit Clermont, but their recent form is genuinely alarming. 📉

Vendée are spiraling (three losses in their last five, including back-to-back 4-0 hammerings), while Clermont are grinding—steady if uninspiring, with just one win in five. This is exactly the kind of banana-skin fixture where a lower-division team can smell opportunity, but execution matters.

Key storylines:

- **Vendée's desperation vs Clermont's fatigue**: The home side need a morale boost badly; Clermont's inconsistency leaves the door open.
- **Millimono and Balliau carrying Vendée's attack**: Two names the hosts will lean on to break down a Ligue 2 defense.
- **Clermont's defensive solidity under pressure**: How do Nsimba, Salmier, and Kabeya handle a fired-up lower-division side in a cup tie?

Expected lineups:

- **Vendée Fontenay Foot**: N. Renou, N. Fromaget, D. Vinet, Y. Leriche, M. Bisleau, A. Moisdon, M. Belbachir, T. Brémond, K. Balliau, A. Alic, J. Millimono
- **Clermont Foot**: T. Guivarch, V. Nsimba, Y. Salmier, E. Kabeya, J. Sambia, J. Grillot, E. H. Koné, R. Kouamé, A. Ackra, E. Cantero, C. Okou

Prediction:

**Clermont 2–1 Vendée**. The Ligue 2 side's quality should shine, but expect a real scrap. 🔥
