Stade Briochin play Paris Saint-Germain at the Stade Pierre Rajon on Wednesday in the Coupe de France quarter-final. The hosts have had mixed results in the fourth tier.
However, they have performed beyond expectations in the cup, eliminating three professional clubs, including Le Havre (last-64) and Annecy (last-32). They then picked up a shock 2-1 comeback victory over Nice in the previous round, with centre-back Hugo Boudin scoring a late brace to send home fans into raptures.
PSG, meanwhile, saw off Lens and Espaly in the first two rounds. They then beat Le Mans 2-0, with Desire Doue opening the scoring midway through the first half before Bradley Barcola came off the bench to double their advantage in the second.
The visitors are record champions and holders of the Coupe de France.
