Prediction: 2-1
Nantes
Sparkles will be flying when Brest and Nantes take on each other at Stade Francis-Le Ble in the Coupe de France last 32. Les Pirates quickly bounced back from a 2-0 loss to Angers, with the team beating star-studded Olympique Lyon at the weekend and, no doubt, they are brimming with confidence ahead of the French Cup game. Both Jordan Amavi and Massadio Haidara are major doubts after the duo limped off with injuries in the last league match, while the likes of Coulibaly, Le Cardinal, Lees-Melou, Locko, and Martin should miss out with injuries.
Les Canaris, on the other hand, head into Wednesday’s clash following back-to-back draws with Lille and Monaco. Home win, though, should be considered as Brest have turned their Stade Francis-Le Ble into a real fortress. In their last meeting at the venue, Brest rolled over Nantes 4-1. All Chirivella, Kadewere, and Mahamoud are expected to miss out with injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Team (Brest):
Founded in 1950, Brest (Stade Brestois) are a French football club that compete in the Ligue 1. La Team Pirate welcome their opponents at Stade Francis-Le Ble, the venue which was opened back in 1922.
