Nantes to book their place in the last four of the Coupe de France
FC Nantes vs SC Bastia - 10/02/2022
4151
On Thursday night, Nantes host Bastia in one of the Coupe De France quarter-finals, as both teams look to move a step closer to cup glory.
Nantes form has been inconsistent this season in the French top-flight, which explains their current position of 10th place in Ligue One.
Antoine Kombouare’s team has won just two of their previous five matches in all competitions. Last time out they suffered a 1-0 defeat at Strasbourg in Ligue One.
Prior to the defeat, Nantes had recorded a 2-0 win over Brest in the Coupe de France. Nantes have a decent recent record in the competition, having now won back-to-back games in normal time and one tie on penalty kicks.
The result at Brest means that the home team has now kept three straight clean sheets in the cup this season.
Nantes also have a good recent home record in the Coupe de France, winning six of their previous nine matches on home soil in the competition.
Bastia are not enjoying a great campaign in Ligue 2, as they are currently in 17th place in the standings and just three points clear of the relegation play-off spot.
The visitors head into this game winless in 90 minutes in their last four matches in all competitions, although they have drawn their last three games in normal time. That run includes a 1-1 draw at Reims in the last round of this competition where they progressed on penalties.
Bastia are unbeaten in ten games in normal time in the Coupe de France. Their only defeat in the run was on penalties against Caen in 2019. The visitors have needed penalties to defeat Les Herbiers as well as Reims in this season’s competition.
Forebet predicts that Nantes will progress to the last four of the competition by recording a narrow win in a low-scoring clash.
