Today's Predictions for Chambéry vs Lyon
Lyon are expected to be comfortable winners when they travel to take on lower-league Chambéry in the Coupe de France on Saturday? Read our top predictions for this weekend’s fixture below.
Contents
Over 3.5 Goals
The Coupe de France can often produce some startling high-scoring contests, especially when the giants of Ligue 1 take on teams from further down the French football pyramid, and Lyon’s clash with Chambéry has the makings of one such occasion. The last time Chambéry face a big-hitter in the cup (Auxerre in Nov 21), a whopping ten goals hit the net in a 6-4 defeat for the minnows. Lyon could run riot in this one and our first prediction points towards over 3.5 goals with that in mind.
Lyon -2.0 Goal Handicap
The last time Lyon played a team from National 3 in the cup, they rattled seven goals without reply past Limoges (2016), and another meaty victory could be on the menu for Les Gones when they take on Chambéry on Saturday. Lyon come equipped with the kind of quality in the final third that their hosts can only dream of having and we expect that to be reflected in the final scoreline this weekend. As a consequence, a stake on Lyon to cover a -2.0 goal handicap is favoured at the prices on offer.

Chambéry vs Lyon Team News & Injuries
Read all of the latest injury updates and team news for Saturday’s Coupe de France bout between Chambéry and Lyon below.
Chambéry
Chambéry generally like to set up in a 3-4-3 formation under Head Coach Cedric Rullier and that set-up allowed them to beat Aubagne 3-1 in the previous round of the cup. Chambéry are currently in fifth spot in the National 3 table and a promotion push is the target this season.
Predicted Lineup for Chambéry: Blachon – Braillon, Albrecht, Poujol – Viard, Jacquet, Cetin, Matias – Scarantino, Fortier, Volic
Lyon
Julian Pollersbeck, Henrique and Houssem Aouar are all out injured for Lyon at present. Les Gones are in the grip of a three-match winless run in Ligue 1, so a distraction in the form of a cup tie will probably be a welcome break from their woes.
Predicted Lineup for Lyon: Lopes – Kumbedi, Diomande, Lukeba, Da Silva – Caqueret, Mendes, Cherki – Tete, Barcola, Dembele
Player to Watch – Rayan Cherki
When Rayan Cherki burst onto the scene at Lyon, he was considered one of the game’s brightest young prospects, though the midfielder hasn’t quite lived up to expectations yet. The 19-year-old has been in and out of the Lyon team this term, making just four starts in Ligue 1 overall, though he should be handed another chance to shine in the cup on Saturday.
