Vitre welcome the visitors Nantes in the French Coupe de France – Quarter-finals. The match will be held on Wednesday, March, 6th, at the Stade Francis Le Basser (Laval).
Vitre compete somewhere in the outskirts of the French football, in the second national league, Group C, and even there, they take 13th place of 16. Anyways, Vitre will fight in the Cope de France quarter-final! Actually, it is not a surprise – it often happens that provincial clubs progress to the high stages of the tournament. Vitre reached 1/8 finals twice, in 2006 and in 2009, but this is their 1st quarter-final. Among their renowned opponents were Le Havre – Vitre knocked them out 2 rounds back. The other sides were of Vitre’s caliber.

Nantes are lucky to have got Vitre as opponents, as they could possibly have met with Rennes, Caen, Dijon, Lyon, and Paris Saint-Germain. Though the team are placed 14th in the national league and they lost to the second-last Dijon away, they are expected to win in their trip to the side from the low league. Still, Vitre will be very plucky, as their progression to this stage is a great achievement yet.
The hosts have nothing to lose. The players are famous in their circles. If they concede, no one will blame them. Therefore, they will be very active and will counterattack. If Nantes lose though, they will be in a trouble and they’d better not go home till their fans come down. This responsibility may weigh heavily on the team, which will restrict the players’ actions. By the way, the odds on Nantes’ win over their opponent are quite high.
Obviously, Vitre scored to all sides on their way to the quarter-final. And they netted 3 goals to Havre. Why not to net to Nantes? The ‘Canaries’’ defense hasn’t been the fortress. They allowed 34 goals in 27 Ligue 1 fixtures and missed 12 goals in 14 outings. Though we’re not betting on the match outcome (and not advising to do so), Nantes will most likely progress further. Still, going by the hosts’ persistency and the guests’ weak defense, the latter will probably allow a goal. We suggest betting on over 1 goal made by Vitre.
Prediction for the match: Vitre to score over 1.0 goal.
