07/02/2024 8:30 pm
Olympique Lyonnais and Lille are back in action in the Coupe de France when they meet at the Groupama Stadium for a spot in the quarter-finals on Wednesday night.
Les Gones claimed a 2-1 victory over Bergerac Perigord in their most recent knockout match, while the Mastiffs beat Racing Colombes 92 1-0 to reach the round of 16.
Lyon’s Ligue 1 struggles are well documented, but they head into this Coupe de France tie with Lille on the back of a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Marseille, their third win in five matches across all competitions in 2024.
Pierre Sage’s permanent appointment as manager has seemingly steadied the ship, evidenced by a four-game winning run without conceding between December and January, while Sunday’s victory also propelled them out of the relegation zone, offering a glimmer of hope.
Despite their league woes, Lyon have progressed in the Coupe de France, getting the better of Pontarlier and Bergerac Perigord with a combined score of 5-1.
The five-time Coupe de France champions are seeking their first title in the competition since 2011-12, which was also the last time they reached the final.
Like their hosts, Lille secured a passage to the round of 16 with a goal from Hakon Arnar Haraldsson against Racing Colombes 92, following a comprehensive 12-0 victory over Golden Lion in the previous round.
Lille have been in excellent form since the turn of the year, remaining unbeaten in 2024 with their most recent game being a 4-0 victory over Clermont in the league.
Sitting fourth in Ligue 1, just four points behind second-placed Nice, Paulo Fonseca’s side are well on course to secure European football next season.
They now shift their attention to the Coupe de France, where they boast six titles, most recently lifting the trophy in 2011 with a 1-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the final.
Remarkably, Les Dogues are unbeaten in 20 of their last 21 matches across all competitions, securing 12 wins and eight draws, with their only blemish being a 2-1 defeat to Strasbourg in their final game of 2023.
