Nantes vs Brest prediction, preview, team news and more | Coupe de France 2021-22

Nantes play host to Stade Brestois at the Stade de la Beaujoire for a place in the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France on Friday.

Both sides head into the game fresh off the back of ending their run of two games without a win and will be seeking to keep the positive results rolling.

Nantes returned to winning ways in the Ligue 1 last Sunday as they edged out Lorient 4-2 on home turf.

This followed a 2-1 defeat at the hands of OGC Nice which saw their six-game unbeaten streak come to an end.

Nantes now turn to the Coupe de France, where they saw off Sochaux on penalties before claiming a 2-0 win over AS Vitre in their opening two games.

Meanwhile, Brest needed penalties to beat Dinan Lehon FC in their opening game, before claiming a thrilling 3-0 win over Bordeaux in their subsequent outing.

Brest head into Friday’s game fresh off the back of ending their two-match losing streak after they picked up a 2-0 win over Lille last Saturday.

They will now hope that result can serve as a springboard for a fine run of form as they look to keep their cup campaign alive and kicking.
