Avranches vs Stade Brestois Prediction and Betting Tips | December 19th 2025

Stade Brestois get their 2025-26 Coupe de France campaign underway when they take on Avranches at the Stade René-Fenouillere on Friday. This will be the first meeting between the two teams since July 2024, when Brest secured a 2-0 victory in a pre-season friendly clash.

Avranches failed to find their feet in the French National League 2 last weekend when they fell to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Aviron Bayonnais FC.

Cedric Hengbart’s men have now gone five straight games without a win in the league (2D 3L), a result which has seen them drop into eighth-place in the standings.

Avranches now turn their attention to the Coupe de France, where they kicked off their campaign with a penalty-shootout victory over Paris 13 on November 15, two weeks before beating National League 3 side Aubervilliers on penalties to reach the round of 64.

Meanwhile, Stade Brestois were sent crashing back to earth last Saturday when they fell to a 3-1 loss against Stade Rennais in their Ligue 1 clash at Roazhon Park.

Eric Roy’s side had won each of their previous three matches, including a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Metz on November 23, a result which saw their run of six straight games without a win in the league come to an end.

Brest, who are currently 11th in the Ligue 1 table, turn their focus to the Coupe de France, where they will be aiming to surpass their best-ever quarter-final finish this season.

Avranches vs Stade Brestois Prediction

Avranches have their work cut out against a top-flight side in Stade Brestois and will need to bring their A-game this weekend if they are to cause a major cup upset.

However, given the gulf in quality and experience between the two teams, we predict Roy’s men will make light work of the hosts and come away with the desired result.

Prediction: Avranches 0-3 Stade Brestois
