Lyon vs Lens prediction

The elimination of Paris Saint-Germain means that everyone in the last eight of the cup are dreaming of a rare taste of silverware but it wouldn’t be too ridiculous to suggest the winner will come from this tie between Lyon and Lens.

Lyon come into this one on the back of a thrilling clash with Olympique de Marseille, going ahead twice at Stade Velodrome before succumbing to a 3-2 loss due to a late turnaround down on the south coast of France. Lens, on the other hand, were dealt a blow in their pursuit of the aforementioned PSG at the top-of-the-table due to a 1-1 draw with Strasbourg at Stade de la Meinau in the Alsace region.

Lens head to Parc OL as the better of the two sides with Lyon having had their 13-match winning streak ended by back-to-back losses but, with home advantage, should be keen to bounce back and it should be a good, tense watch for the neutral.
