Lille vs Lyon Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Coupe de France 2025-26

Les Gones emerged victorious when they last faced Les Dogues.

LOSC Lille will be at home and are now gearing up to take on Olympique Lyonnais for their round of 32 contest of the 2025-26 Coupe de France. This is going to be an intense outing, which will take place at the Decathlon Arena – Stade Pierre-Mauroy.

Les Dogues have come up with decent performances this season and are in fourth place on the French league table at the moment. They faced a 0-2 defeat at the hands of Rennes in their previous matchup. It was an underwhelming performance by Lille OSC, and they will now be looking to return to winning ways.

Lyon have performed really well in their last four matches and will be looking to extend their winning run. They have already defeated Lille once this season and will be looking to complete the double. Les Gones will be away from home, but their confidence levels will be on the positive side.

Kick-off:

• Location: Lille, France
• Stadium: Decathlon Arena – Stade Pierre-Mauroy
• Date: Monday, January 12
• Kick-off Time: 01:30 a.m. IST (Sunday, Jan 11; 08:00 p.m. GMT/ 03:00 p.m. ET/ 12:00 p.m. PT)

• VAR: Not in use

Form:

Lille: W-L-W-W-L

Lyon: L-W-W-W-W

Players to Watch

Felix Correia (Lille)

From controlling the midfield to helping his side in the attacking front, Felix Correia is going to be one of the important aspects of the squad for Lille OSC. He is going to build up problems for the visitors from the right flank and will be a constant thorn for them. He has seven goal involvements to his name in the French league this season.

Pavel Sulc (Lyon)

The 25-year-old is coming in after scoring a sensational brace in the previous Ligue 1 contest. A top performance by him also helped Les Gones to secure three crucial points. Pavel Sulc is going to be one of the main men in the attacking front for Lyon and is going to cause issues for the opponent’s defence.
