8-0 this year on my 100% confidence plays.
Nantes play in Ligue 2, which is the 2nd tier of French Football, just below Ligue 1. St-Renan play in the 'Groupe A du championnat de Division Supérieure Elite de la Ligue de Bretagne' easier said as the 20th tier of French Football, yes TWENTIETH. If St-Renan wanted to make it into the offical French football ladder (16th tier), they'd have to be promoted an additional 4 times. St-Renan are a Sunday league level team, this is the biggest fixture they've ever played in, the club are asking fans to make their own special banners for the game and they're selling 'Special Edition St. Renan vs. Nantes' scarves.
So, in terms of squads, Nantes are taking a near full strength team, the only real first team miss being striker, Filip Dordevic.
Nantes are taking both first team goalkeepers in #1 Remy Riou and the youngster Erwin Zelazny. First team defenders that have travelled include Ahmed Madouni, Issa Cissokho & El Hadji Djilobodji.
Young defender Alhadhur and the veteran Alioui, who recently signed from Al Kharitiyath in Qatar, have also travelled though they are both yet to make first team appearances this year. Madouni, Cissokho and Djilobodji have all made between 11 and 14 league appearances already so the overal defence will be very strong.
First team midfielders; Lucas Deaux, Birama Touré, Fabrice Pancrate & Adrien Trebel have all travelled whilst midfielders/attackers Yong-Jae Lee and Saad Trabelsi have also travelled with the team, Lee having already scored in Ligue 2 this year.
In terms of strikers, Nantes will be without their, and Ligue 2 leading goalscorer Filip Dordevic, who's confirmed as suspended for 3 matches after the Ligue 2 disciplinary comittee increased his 1 game ban to 3 matches after his red card in the game vs. Niort last week. Serge Gakpe is the most experienced striker of the 3 included having already scored 2 in the league this year, he's expected to start the game alongisde youngster Lois Diony. Niane Adama has been called up from the U19's to travel as the 3rd striker due to Dordevic's absence.
Also, more on St-Renan. Like I've already mentioned, they play in the 20th tier of French Football and they're currently 8th out of 12 in their league after 8 games played having won 3, drawn 2 and lost 3. They've scored 10 and conceded 12 so far and managed to make it through to set up the game vs. Nantes due to an extra-time victory in their last Coupe de France game.
Another thing to note is that NEITHER team are at home in this game. The match is being played at the Stade Francis-Le Blé, better known as Ligue 1 club, Brest's stadium. Nantes have already confirmed that over 4000 fans are travelling for the game and as I've mentioned multiple times in the past, Nantes provide the best attendances across Ligue 2, beating most teams in Ligue 1 and even some Premier League teams in England. Their support is incredible and if anybody is going to get the 'home feel' from this, it'll be Nantes.
