On Tuesday night, Nantes and Lyon go head-to-head at the Stade de la Beaujoire in the Coupe de France semi-finals.

The home team heads into this clash on a poor recent run of form, as they are winless in their previous four games in all competitions.

One of the biggest factors in their poor recent form has been conceding too many goals, as they have conceded at least two goals in three of their previous four matches.

Their poor recent form has Nantes looking slightly nervously over their shoulders at the relegation zone.

Despite their recent league struggles, Nantes’ recent record in the Coupe de France is a good one, as they are unbeaten in ten matches in the competition.

Nantes also has a good recent record on home soil in the French Cup, as they are unbeaten in five home matches, having recorded four wins in normal time and one in extra time.

OL are in decent form going into this clash, as a surprise 1-0 win at league leaders PSG last time out made them unbeaten in six matches in all competitions.

However, the victory in the French capital ended a run of three straight draws for the visitors.

Their recent games have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in three of the last four matches in all competitions.

OL are unbeaten in four games in all competitions, having recorded three victories in 90 minutes and one in extra time.

Lyon has a stellar recent away record in the Coupe de France, winning seven of their last eight matches over 90 minutes while winning the other game via a penalty shootout.

What does Forebet predict?

Forebet predicts that Nantes and Lyon will produce a high-scoring encounter, with over 2.5 goals scored.
