Our prediction for this Coupe de France match:
A place in the Coupe de France quarter-finals will be at stake when Nancy and Amiens face each other at Stade Marcel Picot on Saturday afternoon. Nancy set up a meeting with Amiens by beating Troyes on penalties, but they face a difficult task in the last 16. Since Les Chardons failed to impress in a 4-0 loss to Toulouse at the weekend, home win should not be considered.
Amiens, on the other hand, head into the match following a 3-0 win over Guingamp. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Badji, who scored a brace in the last league match, and the Senegal international is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line. The visitors have been in a much better form of late than the hosts, and we predict that they are going to prove their worth on the field.
