A place in the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France is up for grabs when Nice travel to fourth-tier Stade Briochin on Wednesday.
The lower-league side have been excellent in their cup run so far, especially here at the Stade Fred-Aubert, and will now face their toughest opponents yet.
We say: Stade Briochin 1-2 Nice
Nice will be huge favourites, but Briochin have knocked one top-flight club out of the competition already, and have put together a very impressive unbeaten run.
The visitors, even with some rotation, will still have enough though, with Haise's men performing excellently domestically themselves.

Toulouse and Guingamp will lock horns in a battle between two recent winners of the Coupe de France on Wednesday night.
A place in the quarter-finals is up for grabs here, with the lower-league visitors coming into this one in excellent form.
We say: Toulouse 1-2 Guingamp
While being in the division below, Guingamp are only 13 places beneath Toulouse in the pyramid, and are in much better form, despite a defeat at the weekend.
Toulouse have a torrid recent history against lower-league clubs, and this will be a stern test against a club with pedigree in this competition.

Aiming to be one of the lowest-ranked teams to make the Coupe de France last eight, AS Cannes and Dives-Cabourg clash in the competition's round of 16 at Stade Pierre de Coubertin on Wednesday.
The hosts, a fourth-tier side, are favourites to advance to a first quarter-final match for the first time in 11 years at the expense of a club enjoying its deepest run in the domestic cup this season.
We say: AS Cannes 2-1 Dives-Cabourg
Although Dives-Cabourg have done commendably to reach the last 16, they could come unstuck against the 1932 cup champions, who are backed to extend their run without losing to 14 in all competitions, thus making the last eight for the first time since the 2013-14 season.

Strasbourg vs. Angers (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

Meeting for the second time in three seasons in Coupe de France, Strasbourg welcome Angers to Stade de la Meinau for their round-of-16 encounter this midweek.
The last cup game between the sides came in the fifth round of the 2022-23 campaign, when Les Scoistes emerged winners after a goalless draw over 120 minutes, triumphing on penalties.
We say: Strasbourg 1-0 Angers
Strasbourg's home advantage could prove crucial against an Angers side that has struggled to find the net in past cup exits, and we believe this trend may continue, making a narrow win for the hosts the most probable outcome.
