Lyon vs Lens Predictions

• Lyon have won nine consecutive home games.
• Lens have failed to win their last two games.
• Lens have scored in 17 consecutive games.

Cup a clear target for Ligue 1 heavyweights

Lyon and Lens will both fancy their chances of going all the way in the Coupe de France this season ahead of their quarter-final meeting on Thursday.

With PSG and Monaco already eliminated, the winner of Thursday’s tie will have a fantastic chance of taking the trophy and both teams should be up for this clash.

Home advantage gives Lyon a clear edge, but the best angle here could be backing both of these in-form attacks to get on the scoresheet.

Les Gones are on a 15-game scoring streak across all competitions and Lens have scored in 17 successive games. Lyon have also scored in all of their home games this season and Lens have scored in nine in a row on their travels.

Les Sang et Or are still involved in the Ligue 1 title battle and they sit eight points clear of Lyon in the table. However, OL won the reverse fixture 1-0 back in August and they have been exceptional at home of late – winning nine in a row at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais – and home advantage could prove the difference. As such, a 2-1 win for Lyon seems a reasonable correct score prediction as they have scored exactly twice in three of their last five games and this is likely to be an incredibly competitive game decided by small margins.

Endrick impressed without scoring in Lyon’s defeat to Marseille last time out, recording two shots on target and assisting both of his side’s goals. The Brazilian has two goals in as many games in this competition and looks a solid pick for an anytime effort on Thursday.
