Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Avranches & Brest face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Coupe de France. All the pre-match information is available here!
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Avranches form and stats
Last season their Coupe de France adventure ended in the 7th round.2-2-3 (win-draw-lost) are the National numbers at home for Avranches so far this season.
The Avranches goalkeeper Anthony Beuve is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 185 minutes without conceding a goal in the National.
Happy days for Avranches in their previous game, a fixture away at Bastia-Borgo that ended with a 5-0 victory. As mentioned above, Avranches "killed" Bastia-Borgo in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.
Before that, Avranches had a National home game versus Nancy which ended with a victory 1-0.Avranches has scored 9 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. Avranches have conceded 10 in these home matches.
Brest form and stats
Brest was sent out of Coupe de France in the round of 16 last season.The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Brest so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-6 (win-draw-lose).
Brest lost away at Monaco (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Honorat, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.8. Honorat hit six key passes.
Preceding that, the 2-4 home loss versus Olympique Lyonnais.The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Lille in just four days.
Brest have scored 11 goals on their travels this season, from 9 away games in the league. Brest have conceded 16 goals in these games.
