The home team is slightly better between the two sides, having slightly more ambitions than their rivals could push them easier to the next round of the France Cup. Of course, we also count on a good form from Nantes - hosts lost only 1 game in the last 8!

Sitting 9th on the Ligue 1 standings and having won 3-1 in the previous mutual clash back in Round 7, Nantes fans have every reason to be confident before this game. Nantes are doing well and they have solved almost all relegation worries while they are 2 points behind Europan competition spot, behind 5th placed Rennes.

Visitors from Brest have a good season counting average squad age, a young squad. Sitting in the 13th position means with 4 points behind today's rivals, those results are having them peaceful mind when it comes to relegation worries. But Brest coach will be here without key midfielders Romain Faivre who is also the top scorer of Brest with 7 goals and best assistant with 5 assists, and also Paul Lasne (both players are injured).

Both teams in fact have missings, Nantes with players at Afcon while Brest misses their absolute key performer. Of course, we count on a nice Nantes streak at home - they have won 6 out of the last 9 games at home stadium. Overall h2h (mutual matches) is also interesting as Nantes won 6 out of 7 mutual games vs Brest at this stadium since 1989! It's a cup game and not always the smart decision to predict those, but odds are attractive and risk-worthy. Predicting 2-1 win here. It may be a close game but I believe all the value is on Nantes today with this quality 2+ odds!

I wish you all happy holidays in the next period, enjoy your time with your closest ones!

主队在两队之间的表现略好一些，他们比对手更有野心，这将使他们更容易进入法国杯的下一轮。当然，我们也指望南特的良好状态——东道主在过去的8场比赛中只输了一场!

南特在法甲联赛中排名第九，并且在第七轮以3-1战胜对方，在这场比赛之前，南特球迷有充分的理由对这场比赛充满信心。南特做得很好，他们解决了几乎所有的降级问题，同时他们以2分的差距落后于排名第五的雷恩。

从布雷斯特来的客队有一个不错的赛季，这支球队的平均年龄都很年轻。排在第13位意味着落后今天的对手4分，这些成绩让他们在面临降级的担忧时心平气和。但是布雷斯特的教练将在缺少关键的中场球员罗曼·法伏尔的情况下出场，他也是布雷斯特的最佳射手(7球)和最佳助理(5次助攻)，还有保罗·拉斯恩(两人都受伤了)。

事实上，两支球队都有缺阵，南特在阿夫康有球员，而布雷斯特却失去了他们的关键球员。当然，我们指望南特能在主场取得不错的连胜——他们在过去的9场主场比赛中赢了6场。总的来说h2h(相互比赛)也很有趣，自1989年以来，南特在这个体育场对布雷斯特的7场相互比赛中赢了6场!这是一场杯赛，预测这些并不总是明智的决定，但胜算是有吸引力的，也是值得冒险的。预测2-1获胜。这可能是一场势均力敌的比赛，但我相信今天南特的所有价值都是2+赔率!

祝大家在接下来的日子里节日快乐，和亲人一起享受美好的时光!
