Drancy vs Nantes: French Cup Match Prediction
Drancy and Nantes will play in the 1/32 finals of the French Cup. The visitors are trying to stay in Ligue 1 and are still out of the relegation zone. At this time, the hosts are only playing in the fifth league of France, where they are among the outsiders. Will the outsiders be able to make a sensation on December 21 and knock out a representative of the top division from the tournament? The answer is in our forecast.

Command Analysis

Drancy

Current form
Drancy plays in the third division of the National Championship, where amateur clubs and youth teams from Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 play. Even at this level, the hosts are not impressive and occupy only 12th place out of 14. In the last round, the club lost to the second team of Reims on its home field with a score of 0:1. But they managed to reach the 1/32 finals of the French Cup. In the previous stages, Drancy managed to beat Pays de Cassel (2:1) and Noyelles (3:0). Now they face a much more serious test.
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no losses in their squad before the cup match.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team won the previous two cup matches
- None of the hosts' last six matches have ended in a draw

Nantes

Current form
Nantes' results this season are far from ideal. In 15 rounds played, the team has won only three times, drawn five times and suffered six defeats. They managed to score only 17 goals, which indicates problems with converting chances, and the defense is far from ideal - 24 goals conceded. After good matches with PSG (1:1) and Rennes (1:0), the team suffered a crushing defeat from Brest (1:4).
Disqualifications and injuries
The visitors have no problems with their line-up before the cup match.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has won only one of its last 12 matches.
- Managed to score one goal in each of the last three matches
Trends

7.00Bet At least one team will not score
This bet has played in five of the hosts' last seven matches
1.45Tip and bets
The hosts often suffer major defeats even in the fifth league matches, so a rout in the cup match with Nantes is almost inevitable. The visitors perform poorly in the championship, but still have a huge advantage compared to Drancy. We believe that the "yellow-greens" will not disappoint their fans in the away match and will calmly advance to the next stage of the tournament.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-3.5) on Nantes for 1.52
Bet on total
The hosts have not scored very often in recent matches and are unlikely to score against a club from the top league. At the same time, the visitors have important championship matches ahead, so they will try not to waste too much energy on a passing cup match. We believe that no more than five goals will be scored here.
Our prediction is total under 5.5 goals for 1.65
Bet on the first half
The guests will go forward from the very first seconds and will try to gain an advantage as early as possible to avoid unnecessary nerves. Most likely, after the first half of the game, the favorite will have a confident advantage in the score.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1.5) on Nantes in the first half for 1.62
