Coupe de France
These teams met only around 20 days ago, in the Cup 1/16 Finals, with Lyon winning 2:1 on the road. That is their second win over Lille this season, having won the first h2h matchup in the league 1:0. Looking further back, Lyon have been much more successful in their h2h games. Les Gones have won six of the past ten h2h games, while the Mastiffs won just once.
Regarding the number of goals, six of the past ten h2h games ended with three or more goals. Meanwhile, both teams scored on seven occasions.
Lyon team overview
Considering they almost got relegated due to financial problems in the offseason, Lyon are doing a fantastic job this year. The popular Les Gones had an overall good season, but as the season progresses, they are only looking better and are currently on a nine-game winning streak across competitions. At the moment, they are in 4th place in Ligue 1 with 36 points from 19 matches - only two points away from the desired 3rd spot and a Champions League appearance next season.
After a 4:2 win over PAOK, coach Paulo Fonseca spoke to the media. He was satisfied with a win and finishing first in the Europa League (league phase). The coach complimented the team's overall quality, saying they had some really good games in the competition.

Lille team overview
Lille have been 4th or 5th in Ligue 1 in the past three years. This year, the Mastiffs were really good, but had a terrible January, going on a five-game losing streak across competitions. Three of those five losses were in Ligue 1 and the Mastiffs eventually dropped to 5th place. Now, they are four points behind their next opponent, Lyon, and six points behind the 3rd-place target and Champions League next season.
In the last game, Lille secured a win over Freiburg, ending a five-game losing streak. That win not only broke the streak but also secured their place in the EL knockout phase and should give them a boost for the upcoming games.
After a 1:0 win over Freiburg, coach Bruno Genesio spoke to the media. He said it was great to win after what happened earlier in January. The coach added it was a good performance, similar to those in the first part of the season.

Prediction
Lyon are currently on a nine-game winning streak across competitions. One of those wins was against Lille (2:1). They were really good offensively during that stretch, scoring 23 goals - 2.56 per game. Also, Les Gones were magnificent at home, winning 12 of 14 games - 86%.
Meanwhile, Lille were on a five-game losing streak before winning their last game 1:0 against Freiburg. However, we weren't really impressed by that win, given that it was a close game until Freiburg received a red card in the 74th minute. Even with that red card, Lille scored from the penalty spot in the stoppage time.
Lyon also won the previous three h2h games. Considering the trend in the previous h2h games and all the above, we believe the hosts are much closer to winning the upcoming tie.
5 Reasons why Lyon should win
- Lyon won nine games in a row
- Lyon scored 23 goals in the past nine matches - 2.56 per game
- Lyon won 12 out of 14 home games
- Lille lost five of the past six games
- Lyon won the last three h2h games
