After their impressive league victory over Paris Saint-Germain, Lyon will be hoping to maintain the feelgood factor when they travel to the Stade Louis II to take on Monaco in Wednesday’s Coupe de France clash.
Les Gones ran out 2-1 winners over the runaway league leaders on Sunday – their fifth victory in a run of six matches without defeat.
Match Odds
Having lost just one of their last eight matches against this opposition in 90 minutes, they are available at 7/4 (2.75) with SportPesa to come out on top once again here.
GettyHowever, Leonardo Jardim’s men are nine games without defeat in all competitions, and are 7/5 (2.40) favourites to progress to the quarter-finals with a victory in this one.
Two of the hosts’ last three fixtures have resulted in draws, and you can get odds of 13/5 (3.60) on them taking this one into extra-time.
Team News
With Jemerson, Jorge, Adama Diakhaby and Guido Carrillo all missing through injury, Jardim is set to rotate half the team.
Although also set to make some changes, opposite number Bruno Genesio has a fully fit squad to choose from.
High-scoring Head-to-Head
Having played their part in one of the matches of the Ligue 1 season so far against PSG, the guests look set to provide yet more entertainment in this tie.
Both teams have found the net in 10 of the last 11 encounters between these sides, while there have been 19 goals scored in just the most recent four.
Averaging over two goals a game in all competitions this season but having kept just two clean sheets in their last 11 games, Lyon seem likely to ensure this high-scoring trend continues against a Monaco side that has scored 25 goals but conceded 14 in their previous 10.
Tips and Predictions
All in all, odds of 5/6 (1.83) seem generous on both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals being scored for the fifth consecutive meeting between the teams.
