We said: Nantes 1-0 Bastia
Bastia have not fluked their way to the quarter-finals - Brouard's side have produced some solid defensive displays and can feel quietly optimistic about their chances of advancing.
However, Nantes have turned the Stade de la Beaujoire into a fortress in recent weeks and have some distinguished names in the final third, so we expect Les Canaris to book their spot in the semi-finals, but not without a fight.
