In one of the matches of the 1/8 finals of the French Cup, the players of Reims and Bastia will come face to face. On whose side will the victory be in this confrontation? Our sports portal gives a forecast for this meeting.
Reims
The 6-time champion of France started in the French Cup with a victory over Reims Saint-Anne (1-0), followed by a 1 away win against Tang:0. In the French championship, Oscar Garcia's team is extremely unstable this year. After a confident start, the "red and white" recorded 5 victories and 9 peaceful outcomes, which brought 24 points and 14th place in the standings. The offensive line looks rather weak, which differed once per match, while Reims looks even more. In 2022, the team drew with Clermont (0:0) and lost twice.
"Bastia"
Bastia's players opened the cup season with a victory over Les Erbiers. After that, Comanla sorted out the "From Lyon" and "Clermont". The winner of the 1981 French Cup returned to Ligue 2 last year after winning the third-strongest division tournament. The start in the second most important division of the country is as successful as the fans would like. After 22 rounds, the team of Régiebrouard recorded 5 wins and 9 draws, which brought 24 points and 16th place in the standings. In January, the Blues beat Cavin Rouen (3:0), lost to Nancy (1:2) and shared the tournament points with Toulouse (0:0).
Statistics and figures:
- Reims is the favorite of the meeting;
- Reims has a 3-match winless streak;
- Bastia has a 2-match winless streak;

Forecast
I think that Reims will be able to beat Bastia in this meeting. The home team has a real chance to reach the quarterfinals of the tournament. Our bet will be in favor of the favorite, who is actively singled out by bookmakers.
