Plabennec to win
They might be the lower League side but we fancy Plabennec to win this game. For one thing, they hold home advantage it more importantly they arrive in better form too. They've collected two wins and a draw from their last five games with two defeats. Vannes meanwhile have lost four games on the spin heading into this. When you the consider that Plabennec hold a much better record in recent head to head meetings having won two and drawn one of the last three clashes, you realise just how much of a banana skin this is for Vannes.
Expecting goals
We now move on to a tip focussed on the total goals. We are backing over 2.5 goals and at 11/10 (2.10) it is a wager that is very generously priced. Plabennec have gone over the 2.5 marker in their last seven games racking up a total of 29 goals in the process; that's a game average of 4.1 goals. Vannes aren't shy of high scoring games either; their last five have all gone north of 2.5 goals with a game average of 3.8 goals. The only slight doubt placed on this being a high scorer is the head to head record with goals not always flowing in recent meetings.

So, that gives you some insight to how the different bookmakers see the action unfolding. How though do the bookies odds translate into probabilities ahead of this game? Let's find out.
Plabennec odds: 12/5 (3.40) – 29%
Draw odds: 15/7 (3.14) – 32%
Vannes odds: 1/1 (2.00) – 50%
Neither of these teams are seen as a banker for the next round but the bookies favourite us still clear with Vannes priced at 1/1 (2.00) compared to Plabennec whose 12/5 (3.40) price gives them just a 29% chance of winning. The draw is available at 15/7 (3.14). In respect of the both teams to score market, the bookmakers are largely undecided with very little in the odds. Currently, ‘no' is marginally seen as the most likely outcome.
Check out the predicted lineups ahead of Plabennec vs Vannes
Plabennec
Plabennec had a real defensive collapse last time out as they shipped four second half goals. That could see a change of two to the backline but a lineup similar to that of the previous round of this completion isn't unlikely. Theo Guillou, however, will be missing after seeing red late on in that clash with Ergue-Gaberic.
Predicted lineup – Fontaine (GK), Pinvidic, Da Silva, Le Goff, Le Roux, Bourhis, Kujabi, Pellen, Madec, Mourdi, Guegan
Vannes
You have to go back to early November to find the last time Vannes won a game of football. That's not good for confidence and now they face a trickier test than they perhaps should owing to their own short comings. Despite sitting in a superior division to Plabennec, they can't take too many chances in their team selection.
Predicted lineup – Petitgenet (GK), Bouedec, Wandji, Duclovel, Mvogo, Dayot, Esmel, Ebrard, Le Bolloch, Kimbembe, Ngoubou
Starting Lineups

Player to watch
If, as we've predicted, Plabennec win this game then they'll need to keep Vannes' main man under wraps; that's Alexis Ebrard. The 26-year-old striker is having the best season of his career this year. In National 2 he's bagged 11 goals from 14 games giving him a strike rate of one every 109 minutes and that's been helped in recent weeks as he has bagged four goals in his last five outings. It's been a real improvement from last year where he scored just three across the entire campaign.
