Le Puy-en-Velay
Representing the fourth-tier division, Le Puy-en-Velay has never previously played in the top flight, hence their recognition among football fans is not as widespread. Le Puy-en-Velay reached the quarterfinals without encountering top-flight opponents. In their division, the team currently holds second place, trailing the leader by just one point, thus there are chances for promotion, although only the champion moves up to the third division.
Rennes
The "Red and Blacks" are well-known beyond France's borders, having debuted in the Champions League several years ago and frequently participating in European competitions. This season, the club was eliminated in the Europa League round of 16 by Milan. Currently placed seventh in Ligue 1, they are only one point behind the top six. The team is clearly in good form, having remained unbeaten in 8 consecutive league matches. In the last round, they nearly defeated formidable PSG away, with the opponent equalizing only in injury time.
