Lyon is having another very weak season, but the French Cup is still a possibility and it is the only tournament where Lyon still has motivation. Chambéry is an amateur team. The team is already considered a success going into the 1/16 tournament, but they will not be able to go any further. We believe that Lyon should have no problems in the upcoming match and the guests can win with a difference of three or more goals.
In six of Lyon’s nine away games, no more than three goals have been scored.
Nine or fewer corner kicks have been served in six of Lyon’s nine away games.
This team represents amateur football. However, the French Cup could be great publicity.
That said, the team have already qualified for three rounds. Chambery’s opponents have been just as humble.
In the previous round of the Cup, Chambery defeated Aubagne (1:3). The exit to the 1/16 finals was a real breakthrough for the modest club.
In this match, the team will clearly be more defensive than offensive. Lyon is clearly no match for the modest side.
They will certainly try to contain Lyon’s attacks. Even a small defeat will be a decent result for Chambery.
This team is simply failing this season. Lyon is currently in 9th place in the table.
In their previous fixture, Lyon lost. At home, the team sensationally lost to Strasbourg (1-2).
The problem is that Lyon is not exactly winning. In 19 rounds, there have been just seven victories.
However, the team’s defence is relatively good. In the 19 matches played, 23 goals have been conceded.
True, Lyon will obviously not play their optimal squad in this fixture. Such a modest opponent must also be beaten by the reserves.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Chambéry SF: Blachon – Braillon, Albrecht, Poujol – Viard, Jacquet, Cetin, Matias – Scarantino, Fortier, Volic
Olympique Lyonnais: Lopes – Kumbedi, Diomande, Lukeba, Da Silva – Caqueret, Mendes, Cherki – Tete, Barcola, Dembele.
