We said: Nantes 1-2 Lens

 Despite missing several players through injury, there is little doubt that Lens head into this cup tie in better form than Nantes, and as such we expect them to book their place in the semi-finals of the competition. However, Haise's side have been considerably stronger at home than on the road this season, so we think that they will be pushed hard by the holders, who will be determined to retain the Coupe de France.
