There will be fireworks when Lyon and PSG square off against each other in the Coupe de France final on Saturday evening. Les Gones booked their place in the Europa League thanks to a hard-fought 2-1 win over Strasbourg and they must be high on confidence following four consecutive league wins. A man to watch in the home team will be veteran Alexandre Lacazette, who scored a brace against Le Racing, while Pierre Sage has no fresh injury worries.
Les Parisiens, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Nice and Metz. Kylian Mbappe is a major doubt after sustaining a minor injury, while all Lucas Hernandez, Presnel Kimpembe, and Sergio Rico remain in the recovery room. Anyhow, both teams to score betting option should be considered as Lyon have been in a splendid form of late. In their last meeting in the French Cup PSG crushed Lyon 5-1.
