On Wednesday, in one of the first matches of the 1/8 finals of the French Cup, Lyon will play on its own field with Lille. Your attention is invited to the forecast for this match.
"Lyon"
"Lyon" is failing the current championship, taking a modest 9th place in the League 1 standings. But still the chances of European competitions still remain - the gap is 8 points. But the Champions League zone is already as much as 14 points away. So we should try to brighten up the season by winning the cup trophy. Laurent Blanc's team has already passed Metz at home (2:1), and defeated Chambery on the road (3:0).
"Lille"
Lille is a little more successful in the championship, having scored 6 points more than Lyon. This allows you to take the current 6th place in the championship, being only two points away from the European Cup zone. In their first two stages of the French Cup, Paulo Fonseca's team played at home, managing to deal with Troyes and Pau with the same score 2-0. Although recently the "dogs" look very solid on a visit.

Forecast
In recent years, matches between these teams have been, as a rule, inconclusive. Now it is quite possible to continue this trend, given the significant progress in the game in the defense of Lyon, as well as the high price of the match, where any mistake can lead to relegation. The risk should be minimized.
