Command Analysis

Bourgoin Jallieu

Current form
Last year, Bourgoin Jallier played in the National Second League, but was relegated to the third, but even there they do not show stunning results. This season in the French Cup can be called phenomenal, because the team has not yet reached this far. For example, the last draw of the national cup ended at the 1/128 stage. Then there was a defeat to Caen with a score of 1:2. In the current draw, the team is furious, because they have already beaten three teams. First, it was ASJR Football (4:0), then Olympique Valenciennes (3:0), and then Martic (4:1). But the previous opponents, of course, are not of the same level that they will have to meet in the upcoming match.
Disqualifications and injuries
All players are in action.
Interesting trends for betting
- Bourgoin Jallier has won all three of his last cup games, scoring at least three times per game
- In three matches played in the national cup, the hosts conceded only one goal
Estimated line-up: Zhai - Imbert, Siguin, Zuma, Mendi - Niang, Mirlo, Mainge - Amar, Bozkurt, Kozer.

Lyon

Current form
The start of 2025 for Lyon can be called relative. Pierre Saja charges barely beat Montpellier in the first match (1:0), and the game against Brest ended in defeat (1:2). Alas, this fiasco forced the team to drop to sixth place in the national championship.
The team is doing well in the French Cup so far. In the last round, the opponent was a representative of the fourth league - Fenja. The reserve team entered the field, which minimally, but still won with a score of 2:1. In the 1/16 finals, they will meet a team that is even lower in the league than their previous opponent. In theory, there should be no problems either.
Disqualifications and injuries
There are no injured players on the team.
Interesting trends for betting
- Lyon have scored in their last 13 matches
- The visitors have conceded in their last three away matches
Probable line-up: Deschamps - Koumbedi, Chaleta-Car, Omari, Abner - Diawara, Tessmann, Tolisso - Nouama, Mikautadze, Benrahma.

2.10Tip and bets
If Lyon coaching staff fielded a reserve team in the last round of the country cup, it is unlikely that a different move will be made for the game with a team that is even lower in the league. At the same time, Bourgoin Jallier has shown excellent results in the French Cup and won the last two matches with local fans by three goals. Of course, you can't expect this in a confrontation with a giant, but the visitors are also unlikely to win the match much more confidently than they did in the 1/32.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (+3.5) on Bourgoin Jallier with odds of 1.93
Bet on total
We have already mentioned that in all the games of the French Cup this season Bourgoin Jallier has scored at least three times. Considering the probability that Lyon will not have their main squad on the field, it seems that the hosts will be able to score in this match as well.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 2.65
Bet on corners
Judging by the fact that Bourgoin Jallier plays attacking football in the national cup, we come to the conclusion that the two opponents will score quite a few corner kicks between them.
Our prediction is total over 8.5 corners with odds of 1.70
