Prediction: 0-4
Nantes
A spot in the Coupe de France last 32 will be at stake when JA Drancy and Nantes take on each other at Stade Bauer on Saturday evening. Les Canaris are seen as hot favourites to win this match, but boss Antoine Kombouare must warn his men against complacency. Egypt international Mostafa Mohamed is a major doubt, while Tino Kadewere remains on the sidelines with injury. All Coco, Mollet, Ganago, and Thomas are in line to return to the starting XI as Antoine Kombouare is expected to shuffle his pack.
JA Drancy, on the other hand, rolled over fellow lower-league side Noyelles to set up a meeting with Nantes, but they will have a mountain to climb in Saturday’s clash. Regardless of which players will be deployed in Nantes’ starting XI, the difference in quality between the two sides is enormous; therefore, we predict a routine away win.
Highlighted Team (Nantes):
Founded on April 21, 1943 Nantes is a professional football club that compete in French Ligue 1. Les Canaris are considered one of the most famous French clubs and they had a lot of success during the sixties and the seventies. Nantes won their first Ligue 1 title in the 1964/1965 season and 36 years later (2000/2001) they clinched their eighth (last) domestic trophy.
Speaking of the club’s European success, les Canaris did well to make it to the Champions League semis in 1996, but Italian giants Juventus proved to be a big catch for the French outfit. Nantes welcome their rivals at La Beaujoire-Louis Fonteneau and the capacity of the stadium is 38.004.
The likes of Vahid Halilhodzic, Adel Selimi, Michel Der Zakarian, Viorel Moldovan, Mario Yepes, Marcel Desailly, Didier Deschamps, Claude Makelele, Christian Karembeu and Dimitri Payet are the notable footballers who played for the club in the past. Nantes are well known for their yellow jerseys and that is the reason why they are nicknamed the Canaries (les Canaris).
