-------------------------------
Stade Briochin
Stade Briochin head into this historic Coupe de France quarter-final with no major injury or suspension concerns, allowing Guillaume Allanou to field his strongest possible lineup against Paris Saint-Germain.
Briochin’s defensive trio of Benjamin Angoua, Christophe Kerbrat, and Hugo Boudin will have the daunting task of containing PSG’s high-powered attack, which has been in unstoppable form this season. Hugo Boudin, who was the hero against Nice, scoring both goals in their 2-1 shock win, will aim to produce another magical performance, though this will be a completely different level of opposition.
In attack, Christian Konan and Stan Janno, both of whom have scored in previous rounds of the competition, are expected to lead the line, as Briochin look to take advantage of any rare attacking opportunities that come their way.
The home side are expected to set up defensively in a 5-3-2 formation, prioritising compactness at the back while hoping to capitalize on counter-attacks and set-pieces. In goal, Franck L’Hostis will be between the posts, tasked with organising his defence and making crucial saves to keep Briochin in the game.
The five-man defensive unit will feature James Le Marer at right wing-back, with Benjamin Angoua, Christophe Kerbrat, and Hugo Boudin forming the central trio. Madigoundo Diakite will play as the left wing-back, offering defensive support while attempting to contribute on the break.
In midfield, Aimeric Gomis-Maillard, Leo Yobe, and Artur Zakharyan will operate as the engine room, aiming to disrupt PSG’s possession play while trying to release the forwards on quick transitions.
Up front, Stan Janno and Christian Konan will spearhead the attack. Their movement and ability to press PSG’s backline will be key if Stade Briochin hope to create any goalscoring opportunities in what will be the biggest match in their club’s history.
PSG
Luis Enrique is expected to make several rotations to his squad for this Coupe de France quarter-final, giving opportunities to fringe players while keeping his regular starters fresh for upcoming fixtures.
PSG will remain without Warren Zaire-Emery and Ibrahim Mbaye, who are both sidelined due to injury. The young midfielder and defender are expected to return by the end of the month, meaning they will miss this clash against Stade Briochin.
With the fixture congestion piling up, Enrique is likely to rotate his squad, with Goncalo Ramos, Matvey Safonov, and Lee Kang-in all in contention to start. This will give PSG’s key players a rest while ensuring they have more than enough firepower to overcome their fourth-tier opponents.
Paris Saint-Germain are expected to line up in a 4-3-3 formation, which provides attacking fluidity while maintaining midfield control. Even with rotations, the squad possesses immense quality, making PSG the overwhelming favourite.
Matvey Safonov will likely start in goal, replacing Gianluigi Donnarumma, giving the Russian goalkeeper valuable game time. The backline will feature Yoram Zague at right-back, with Lucas Beraldo and Willian Pacho forming the central defensive pairing. Lucas Hernandez is expected to operate at left-back, offering both defensive security and attacking support.
In midfield, Senny Mayulu could start in a deeper role, providing defensive cover, while Fabian Ruiz takes on a more box-to-box role. Lee Kang-in will complete the trio, offering creativity and attacking movement.
The front three will see Khvicha Kvaratskhelia starting on the right flank, bringing trickery and goalscoring ability. Goncalo Ramos is expected to lead the line as the central striker, while Desire Doue will feature on the left wing, using his pace to stretch the Briochin defence.
Stade Briochin possible starting lineup:
L'Hostis; Le Marer, Angoua, Kerbrat, Boudin, Diakite; Gomis-Maillard, Yobe, Zakharyan; Janno, Konan
Paris Saint-Germain possible starting lineup:
Safonov; Zague, Beraldo, Pacho, Hernandez; Mayulu, Ruiz, Lee; Kvaratskhelia, Ramos, Doue
Stade Briochin vs Paris Saint-Germain Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
Wednesday's game will mark the first meeting between Briochin and PSG.
The hosts are without a clean sheet in eight games across competitions.
The Parisians have appeared at this stage of the Coupe de France in eight of their last 10 seasons.
Briochin are one of two National 2 sides in the last eight, alongside Cannes.
PSG have the best offensive and defensive records in the top flight, with 62 goals scored and 12 conceded.
Prediction: Stade Briochin 0-3 Paris Saint-Germain
Anything short of a dominant PSG victory will be a shock here, but Briochin have eliminated two Ligue 1 sides from the competition already, so they will not feel hopeless. The visitors, who are expected to rotate, should still have too much quality for a side that are three divisions away from the highest level.
