Despite their opponents playing in the third tier of French football, Pocognoli has warned against any complacency, stressing the importance of focus in a competition known for its potential upsets.

OGC Nice are also in Coupe de France action this weekend, travelling to face fellow Ligue 1 side Nantes on Sunday.

The all–top-flight clash promises to be a tougher test, as both teams look to secure a place in the next round of the competition.
