Prediction: 1-2
Brest
Troyes will be aiming to build on a 3-0 win over Caen when they take on Brest in the Coupe de France last 16. Stephane Dumont’s troops are a real force to be reckoned with at home, winning four of their last five games at their Stade de l’Aube, but they will have a mountain to climb against the Ligue 1 outfit. A man to watch in the home team will be Comoros forward Rafiki Said, who scored the winner against Rennes in the previous round.
Les Pirates, on the other hand suffered a heavy 5-2 loss to PSG in their last league match, but they are still seen as favourites to beat Troyes in Tuesday’s French Cup game. As Brest are eager to represent France in European competitions for yet another season, we are tempted to place our bets on Eric Roy’s troops. The likes of Amavi, Locko, Martin, and Haidara should miss out with injuries for the visiting team.
