Nantes – Bastia : Preview & Prediction
FC Nantes, triple winner of the event, finds itself 3 matches away from a final… This 1/4 final against this Corsican team which plays in Ligue 2 should be crossed by Canaries who are aiming for the last four of this Coupe de France. Winner of Sochaux (1-0), Vitré (2-0) and Brest (2-0) in the previous rounds by keeping a clean sheet, FC Nantes, stuck in the soft underbelly of Ligue 1, can make a bite of the Corsicans who are fighting to stay in Ligue 2. The Canaries, who had signed 2 successes in front of Lorient (4-2) and Brest (2-0) at the end of January, were surprised by Strasbourg (1-0) in Alsace this Sunday. A reaction from Antoine Kombouaré’s men is expected at La Beaujoire on February 10. Bastia does not make this Coupe de France its priority since its situation in the league is precarious. The Corsican club is 17th and first non-relegation in Ligue 2 with only 3 points ahead of Grenoble, 18th, which has a game behind. Santelli’s partners (8 goals) notably eliminated Clermont (2-0) and Reims (1-1, 5 pens 3) in the previous rounds to find themselves in the quarter-finals. If the exploits are present in the cup, on the other hand the last Bastia performances are complicated in the championship. Régis Brouard’s players remain on 3 matches without success in Ligue 2 with 1 loss in Nancy (2-1) and 2 consecutive draws at home against Toulouse (0-0) and against Pau (1-1) this weekend .
Nantes hasn’t lost to Bastia in 4 duels (1 win and 3 draws).
The Canaries have won 2 of their last 3 meetings.
FC Nantes is stuck in the soft underbelly of this Ligue 1.
Bastia is stuck at the bottom of the rankings in a tense 17th place in Ligue 2.

The resident of Ligue 1, favorite in his garden, will offer himself a place in the 1/2 final of this Coupe de France and believe a little more in his chances of coronation.
