Wednesday, at 20:00, Lyon will receive a visit to Caen in a match for the quarterfinals of the French Cup. The match will take place at Lyon’s “Parc Olympique Lyonnais” stadium.
By eliminating Bourges (2-0), Amiens (2-0) and Guingamp (2-1), Lyon ended up with no use in the quarterfinals of the French Cup, a phase in which, with another approachable opponent. But worrying is the fact that offensive issues are starting to appear for Genesio’s band. Surprisingly, Lyon has not scored in three of the last four matches, falling victim to the “Montreal Phoenix” AS Monaco field (0-2). Luckily for the OL, besides the point of playing the game on Wednesday on their own ground, Genesio’s boys will face a Caen who has far too many problems in the championship to concentrate on a miraculous qualification in the French Cup semifinals. Lyon is in an offensive semi-crisis, needs moral and goal victory, while Caen, currently occupying the dam, has not won the nine stages in Ligue 1 and if he continues in the same manner, will “embrace” relegation.
In the last ten direct confrontations between the two bands, Lyon was forced six times, Caen in three other rows, while a single duel ended in a tie;
The previous direct dispute took place in Ligue 1, almost half a year ago, when the two combatants drew on Caen’s field, score 2-2;
The last success of Caen on OL’s ground dates back to February 2012, from a 2-1 record on “Stade de Gerland”;
Given the circumstances of this game, we expect a spectacular hostile run. Without excluding the scenario of a potential surprise, which would include a possible outcome that could be decided after the additional overtime, we will prefer to focus on the aspect of the general inevitable show in this dispute.
PREDICTION: Lyon to win @ 1,30
