Nice – Olympique Lyon, French Cup Prediction

Nice can only regret that they could not beat Rennes, who did not have their strongest squad in the match between the two teams a few days ago in Ligue 1. This probably means that the last little chance for the Eagles to fight for top 3 gone. This is a good time for them to turn to a tournament where they can do more. For the Cup, they can beat almost any team at home.

Lyon are in very strong shape right now. Rudy Garcia’s team last lost to Rennes in mid-December. Since then, Lyon have had 8 matches with 6 wins in them. The kids also score a lot of goals, reminding us of their games at the end of last season and in the summer when the team was dominated by offensive football. Rudy Garcia retrieves as much as possible from the strikers without Depay, which is very impressive.

 Expert view : We expect a sure goal from Lyon. They are better and in great shape. It is more debatable here whether the hosts will score, but they are also in strong form. The Eagles have not lost in 7 consecutive games, but more importantly, they have scored in 12 of their last 13 matches in all tournaments. Even more impressive is that this season Nice have no match in which they have not scored a goal in front of their fans. These are 17 consecutive home games. Logic points – BTTS at 1.75.
