Paris FC vs Olympique Lyon prediction, preview, team news and more | Coupe de France 2021-22

Paris FC play host to Olympique Lyon at the Stade Sebastien Charlety in the Coupe de France on Friday.

The hosts head into the encounter on a four-game winning streak, while Lyon have failed to taste victory in any of their most recent four outings.

Paris FC continued their fine string of performances as they claimed an impressive 4-1 win away to Valenciennes.

Thierry Laurey’s men have now won their last four games on the trot, including a 14-0 win over CSC Cayenne in round eight of the Coupe de France.

Paris FC head into Friday’s game unbeaten in their last eight games in all competitions, claiming two draws and six wins.

Olympique Lyon, meanwhile, continued to struggle for form as they were held to an uneventful goalless draw by Lille last time out.

It was the third consecutive draw for Peter Bosz’s men, who have now failed to win any of their last four games across all competitions.

The slump in form has seen Olympique Lyon drop to 13th place in the Ligue 1 table, five points behind Montpellier in the Conference League qualification spot.
