Prediction: 3-1
Sochaux
Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over Rennes, Olympique Lyon will be aiming to book their place in the Coupe de France last 16 when they take on Sochaux at Parc Olympique Lyonnais. Les Gones rolled over AC Ajaccio in the previous round, and they are seen as hot favourites to beat Sochaux as well. Boss Rudi Garcia could opt to make changes to the team that defeated Rennes, with all Aouar, Cornet, and Kadewere pushing for a start.
Sochaux, on the other hand, set up a meeting with Lyon by beating St Etienne in the last 32, but it has to be noted that les Verts dominated the match. Omar Daf’s men will have a mountain to climb in Saturday’s football game, and seeing that Lyon are a real force to be reckoned with at home, the visitors are unlikely to shock the Ligue 1 side.
