Lyon take on the visitors Lille in the 1/8-finals of Coupe de France. The match will be played on Wednesday, February 8th at Parc Olympique Lyonnais (Lyon).
Lyon are just trying to gain momentum. The "Weavers", of course, simply cannot help but be ambitious. More recently, they were the leader of French football, winning a number of "gold" medals. But gradually everyone got used to narrowing the level of ambition to the desire to play in the Champions League. They believed that Peter Bos would return there, and even after the disastrous result of the last season, the mentor was not fired. Nevertheless, the resignation took place in the fall, after a new protracted "pit". Laurent Blanc was called in to save the situation. But even with him there were enough failures, even in winter. However, in the last round it was possible to beat Troyes on the road, and with a convincing score, 3-1.

Lille hopes Paulo Fonseca will live up to expectations. The Great Danes managed to create a sensation in the season before the last when they overtook PSG itself in the dispute for 1st place. But then the positions were expectedly lost, moreover, the team “sank” more than expected (although at the same time they took the Super Cup and advanced to the playoffs of the Champions League). Hence the decision in the summer to call another new mentor, Paulo Fonseca. True, although progress was made with the Portuguese in the championship, it was not as noticeable as expected. Even a rather unexpected 3-1 on the Rennes field allows you to go in 6th place. By the way, Lille had lost only once in as many as 16 of the last meetings! Surely, Lille are now dreaming of getting as far as possible in the French Cup, which they won 6 times in his not poor history. It is all the more important to succeed in the cup - as, indeed, for Lyon.
A dozen times Lille managed to at least not lose to Lyon. But in this season, in the league match, on the 74th minute Lacazette scored the only goal and brought victory to the Weavers. Lyon are the favorite on paper, as they play at home. But both clubs do not shine - a bet on "under 2.5 goals" suggests itself.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
