| Since winning the title in 2012, Lyon have never had a better chance of winning the Cup again than this year. Paris Saint-Germain have long since been eliminated, and Lyon's squad is of the highest quality it has been for many seasons. There isn't any clear favorite before the quarter-final against Lens. There's a lot at stake for both clubs, as they know this is almost like a final before the final. In 10 of the last 11 matches, the scoreboard showed a maximum of one goal separating the two teams. Lyon are extremely hungry for goals in front of their home crowd, scoring at least two goals in five of their last six home game. Despite their home strength, Lyon have not scored a goal in the first 30 minutes in any of their last seven home matches. |
