Stade Briochin vs Nice Prediction and Betting Tips | February 5th 2025
Stade Briochin will host Nice at the Stade Fred-Aubert on Wednesday in the last 16 of the 2024-25 Coupe de France campaign. The home side are enjoying a good run of form and will be looking to carry that momentum onto the domestic cup this week, where they are set to lock horns with top-flight opposition.
They saw off Stade Paimpolais and Saint-Malo in the first two rounds of the competition last year. They then picked up a shock 1-0 win over Le Havre in the last 64 before beating Ligue 2 outfit Annecy on penalties in the last round.
Nice have had their struggles of late but remain in the continental spots in the Ligue 1 standings and will be looking to use their cup clash this week to build confidence for the rest of their season. They picked up a narrow 1-0 victory over Bastia last time out in the Coupe de France, with Mohamed Ali-Cho scoring the sole goal of the contest on the hour mark.
Les Aiglons beat Montpellier 4-1 on the road at this stage of the tournament last season and will hope they can hit similar heights this week and continue their push for a first cup title in over three decades.
