Lyon are brimming with confidence ahead of Wednesday's Coupe de France game against Laval. As Les Gones are in unstoppable form, we predict that they will record a 3-1 win over the Ligue 2 side. Paulo Fonseca's men are on a five-game winning run, including a gritty 1-0 victory over Lille at the weekend despite a long injury list (Fofana, Ghezzal, Mangala, Tolisso, Tagliafico). Fonseca is doing a great job with Lyon regardless of absences, showing excellent balance and confidence. Their numbers across the board are dominant: 3.00 PPG overall, a perfect 100% win rate, and 2.40 goals scored per match. Even defensively, Lyon look solid with 0.80 conceded per game and 1.02 xGA, indicating control and stability in most phases of play.
Laval, meanwhile, arrive as Ligue 2 underdogs but with renewed options as both Bianda and Mandouki return from suspension. Their form is mixed (1.30 PPG), and while they’ve been more competitive away (1.67 PPG), their attacking output remains modest (1.00 goals scored away, 0.89 xG overall). Laval do defend well at times — 67% clean sheets away — but the step up in opposition quality is significant.
With Lyon’s current momentum, superior squad depth, and flawless home streak, the gap between the sides looks wide, even in a cup setting. As Lyon matches average 3.20 goals and Laval concede regularly away, Over 2.5 goals seems like the best betting option, alongside Home Win and Lyon/Lyon.
This Coupe de France match will be played on Wednesday 4 February 2026 at 19:30.
