FC Nantes challenges JA Drancy (N3), this Saturday (6 p.m.), for its entry into the Coupe de France (32nd final) at the Bauer stadium. Badly in the championship (14th), Antoine Kombouaré's men intend to continue their adventure in this competition, which they won*9 in 2022, to end the year on a good note.

Antoine Kombouaré, finally retained as coach for the match, decided to start with a four-man defense, a week after his team conceded four goals in Brest. Marcus Coco returns to the starting lineup, as do Nathan Zézé and Ganago, all three on the bench in Finistère. Another surprise, the first start of the season for young Hera Guirassy on the right side of the attack. Discomforted last week with his adductors, Mohamed starts on the bench.
