French giants Lyon can move a step closer to winning silverware this season when they host Ligue 2 side Laval in the French Cup. Lyon overcame a tougher opponent in their last outing in this competition, beating Lille 2-1 away from home. Let’s have a look at our match prediction.
Going by their form ahead of this game, Lyon should be able to carry the day here. They are coming off a 1-0 win against Lille in Ligue 1, marking a 10th straight win.
In their last 11 matches, though, Lyon have only posted four clean sheets.
Laval will surely be aware of what they are walking into. The Ligue 2 side is struggling so far in the season, and getting to this stage is among their biggest positives so far.
In their league, Laval are second from bottom, battling relegation after their latest defeat, a 1-0 loss at home to Pau FC. That result marked Laval’s third straight winless outing, and they have failed to score in each of those three matches.
The last win the visitors posted was in this competition, as they beat Istres 2-0. Actually, in their last 10 matches, Laval have four wins, and three were in the French Cup.

Our Lyon vs Laval Prediction
In Lyon’s last 14 matches, they kept seven clean sheets and only got to record one defeat in the process. The Ligue 1 side will obviously come into this encounter as the favorites, and such a dominant record in defence will lift them.
It isn’t just the defensive numbers; Lyon are also coming from a stretch of 10 straight wins, a status that might not be fully challenged by a struggling Ligue 2 side. Our prediction for Lyon v Laval is for Lyon to win without conceding.
