Probable compositions, attendance, disrupted preparation… Everything you need to know about Stade Briochin – Annecy in the Coupe de France

French Cup (16th). Stade Briochin (N2) – FC Annecy (L2), Wednesday (6:30 p.m.)

Stade Briochin without Benhaim

Deprived of a match against Blois on Saturday, the Stadistes Briochins did not have an easy preparation. “We had to go and train at Plérin soccer, on the Langueux synthetic pitch and on ours which is catastrophic,” whispers Guillaume Allanou.

The coach knows the quality of these Annéciens despite their defeat on Friday against Guingamp (1-4). “It will be even harder than against Le Havre because their dynamic remains very positive. They are 5th in the standings, they are the Ligue 2 team that runs the most. They bring a lot of aggression and impact. But we can’t wait to be there! “.

Suspended during the 32nd final, Aimeric Gomis will be able to enjoy this meeting for which 3,800 people are expected. Among the twenty players called up, the only notable absence will be that of Julien Benhaim, injured in the thigh. Among the young players in the group, Yacine Ahjaou was preferred to Jhon Balzan.

Annecy FC with the same as against Guingamp

The French Cup is a real objective for Annecy FC, both sportingly and financially. Laurent Guyot, the coach, should therefore make few changes compared to the last match lost against neighbor Guingamp (1-4), the only Noha Lemina (younger brother of Mario) being added to the group to bring it to 19 elements. “We take this competition very seriously. The difference in level only exists at the time of the draw. When the match starts, it’s 50/50,” brandishes the former Guingamp player.

In goal, ex-Lorient player Thomas Callens, who was almost loaned to the Griffons in National, should be lined up from the start. “Believing yourself to be superior to a team that plays two divisions below would not be a lack of humility, it would be stupidity,” continues the Haute-Savoie coach. This match will also be an opportunity for Jean-Philippe Nallet, the sports director, to return to the Fred-Aubert stadium, he who played there in National and D2 between 1992 and 1997.
