Thaon vs Nantes Best Predictions and Odds
Nantes is coming in as the favorite against a lower-league opponent in a round-of-16 clash of the French Cup.
Contents
Over 2.5 Goals
Thaon is not all too familiar when it comes to their football prominence, but the fact that they advanced this far in the national Cup competition speaks volumes about their motivation and drive to succeed. Thaon has scored 22 goals this season in 11 matches and is the only undefeated team in the Fifth-Tier league. That is something to be respected, and with Nantes coming to town, we might see some goals scored.
Both Teams to Score – Yes
Even though Nantes is the favorite courtesy of their league status, that doesn't mean Thaon will be without chances, especially when it comes to scoring goals. Predicting at least one goal scored for the home team is not a far-fetched prediction.

Team News, Probable Lineups, and Preview
Thaon
Entente Sportive Thaon-les-Vosges is the full name of this club from the city of Thaon-les-Vosges never had any major success on the biggest stage of French football, and its biggest win in the French Cup was earned earlier this month when they beat Ligue 2 side Amiens after the penalty shootout, managing to earn a goalless draw during the regular time having ten players on the field. Before that match, they defeated Sarre Union 3-0, and another familiar team Sochaux 3-2 after penalties. They participate in the National 3 – Grand Est league which is a part of the Fifth-Tier league system in France, and are currently second through eleven matches played, and the only team in the league without a loss thus far.
Probable lineup: Rodriguez, Alves, Condi, Rother, Cisse, Koriche, Dufour, Didierjean, Lecoanet, Comara, Gazagnes.
Nantes
There will be no excuse for Nantes if they lose this tie, but they will certainly respect their opponent especially after they beat Amiens a few weeks ago. Nantes has won the Cup four times and is the current champion. Last May they beat Nice 1-0 in the final match. This season, because of their league and European obligations with the fact they are the trophy holders, their Cup campaign started earlier this month, and they beat Virois 2-0. Nantes is in the middle of a five-match unbeaten run in the league as they are holding onto the 13th position with a six-point cushion in front of the relegation zone candidates. Nantes only won four times this Ligue 1 season while playing 19 games, and are hoping that their recent improvement in the form will lead them to more success in the future. Ignatius Ganago, Quentin Merlin, Nicolas Pallois, and Denis Petric are injured and won't be available for the trip to Thaon-les-Vosges.
Probable lineup: Lafont, Centonze, Castelletto, Girotto, Zeze, Traore, Guessand, Sissoko, Chirivella, Simon, Blas.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
Player to Watch: Mohamed Comara
While Nantes has more talented players, we are focusing our attention on the best scorer for Thaon this season. A little-known 31-year-old striker from Ivory Coast, Mohamed Comara has scored six league goals this season while also getting on the scoresheet in the Cup. He will be the key to possible Thaon success against the Ligue 1 team.
