Reims
Match Time & Date:

18:30
Prediction: 1-1
Bastia
A spot in the French Cup quarter-finals will be at stake when Reims and Bastia take on each other at Stade Auguste-Delaune on Saturday evening. Reims aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Metz and PSG, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Bastia. All Toure, Doumbia, and Konan are on international duty, while the likes of Berisha, Munetsi, and Zeneli have been struggling with injuries of late.
The Ligue 2 side, on the other hand, booked their place in the last 16 by shocking Clermont (2-0). Bastia aim to claim yet another major scalp in the Coupe de France, and given the number of absentees in the home team, we are tempted to put our money on draw. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in three of their last five meetings in all competitions.
