Lille and Lyon will go head-to-head in the French Cup this Sunday, both targeting a slot in the last 16. Both sides avoided Ligue 1 opposition in the last round, so for either side, the challenge gets tougher here. Read on to find our prediction for the match.
Hosts Lille beat Lusitanos 1-0 to advance here but couldn’t follow through with a win in their first game of the year. Les Dogues lost 2-0 at home to Rennes, halting their two-game winning run.
That was the second time in four matches that they failed to score and the first time in six games that they were stopped from winning at home.
Lyon are coming off a much better period and can only hope to improve on their away record. Their 3-1 win over off-color Monaco was a fourth straight and a fine start to 2025.
Les Gones will hope to build on it, and their head-to-head record in this game is impressive. They haven't lost to Lille across their last five meetings.
One of them was a French Cup game, in which Lyon prevailed 2-1. Though Lyon recorded an away win at Monaco right before this outing, their run on the road isn’t very encouraging. Paulo Fonseca’s men have only won four of 10 on their travels.

Our Lille vs Lyon Prediction
This is one of the high-profile matches in this round of the French Cup, and we expect an entertaining encounter. The last time Lille exited the competition at this stage was in 2022, and they run the risk of a repeat, going by their record against Lyon.
The hosts haven’t won this encounter in the last five meetings with Les Gones, only drawing once. Lyon will find confidence in that return of four wins in five head-to-head matchups. Alongside their current run of four straight wins, we are tipping Lyon here. Our prediction for Lille v Lyon is that Lyon wins.
