Troyes-Brest, the probable formations

Brest challenges Troyes away in the French Cup round of 16. Kickoff at 7 p.m. at the 'Stade de l'Aube'. ESTAC, fresh off a miraculously achieved salvation last year, is not meeting expectations under City Group management. Les Pirates, on the other hand, suffered a heavy defeat against PSG in the last round of Ligue 1 and will have to face the Parisian battleship again in the Champions League playoffs.

The hosts will take the field with a 4-3-3, with Boucher in goal, Mendes and Gozzi on the full-backs, the midfield trio will consist of Diop, M'Changama, Kanté. In attack, the center forward will be Ba, supported by the outfielders Irié and Said.

The guests will line up with a 4-2-3-1, with Chardonnet and Coulibaly having to protect Coudert’s goal. Lala is confirmed as right fullback, while the midfield duo will consist of Lees-Melou and Magnetti. On the three-quarter will play Faivre, behind the team’s top scorer Ajorque.
