Lyon vs Grenoble Best Predictions and Top Odds
Lyon is challenging for the French Cup title this season after making it through to the quarterfinal stage and facing an opponent from Ligue 2.
Contents
Lyon/Lyon
The home team will be the favorite in this Lyon vs Grenoble match, and going for a halftime/full-time win is a reasonable assessment. Lyon has been playing without their leading scorer and best player Alexandre Lacazette for the past few games, but still managed to win three times in their last four matches. Their home record stands at six wins with three draws and losses apiece. Grenoble has been going hard trying to get some wins and compete for promotion into Ligue 1, but the competition is as tough as ever. They are without a win in their last three games.
Both Teams to Score – No
Lyon managed to keep their opponents in the league competition under one goal per game on average which is decent enough statistics coming into the match against Grenoble who are a second-division team. This Lyon vs Grenoble prediction is favoring the negative side of BTTS. Even though Lyon had only one game without both teams scoring in their last five encounters when it comes to the French Cup things are set differently. Grenoble is not a high-scoring team, their most recent game against Ligue 2 leaders Le Havre over the weekend ended in a goalless draw, and in their last ten outings in all different competitions, they had seven BTTS-No games. These two teams played five times in the past, there is not much relevance in those games as they were played in a period from 2006 to 2010, but it is worth mentioning that only one ended with both teams scoring at least a goal.

Team News, Preview, and Lyon vs Grenoble Lineups
Lyon
They have won the French Cup five times, and the last trophy was earned in 2012, but Lyon will feel that the draw has opened up after PSG is no longer a part of the competition, and some teams can take the title with Lyon being one of them. Lacazette should be available for this match as it stands at the moment, but there are other potential injury problems for the hosts: Henrique Silva and Houssem Aouar are struggling to get fit for the match.
Predicted lineup: Lopes, Diomande, Lovren, Lukeba, Tagliafico, Lepenant, Mendes, Caqueret, Barcola, Dembele, Lacazette.
Grenoble
The visiting team doesn't have much success in the past, but their schedule will give them headaches ahead of this match as this important outing is coming in time when the team is fighting for promotion into Ligue 1. They have done well throughout the French Cup competition with limited roster quality. Bart Straalman, Arial Mendy, and Manuel Perez are injured for the guest side.
Predicted lineup: Maubleu, Gaspar, Tchaptchet, Monfray, Diarra, Ngando, Bambock, Benet, Sbai, Tell, Sanyang.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
Lyon
Grenoble
Player to Watch: Maxence Caqueret
The young 23-year-old central midfielder has been a staple in the middle of the pitch for Lyon this season. He scored only one goal but leads the team in assists with five. He is the team's engine and will be one of the key players against Grenoble.

- What was Lyon's last result? Lyon's most recent outing saw them on the road against Angers in Ligue 1. They were in cruise control for the duration of the game that finished 1-3 in their favour. Thiago Mendes gave them the lead in the first half before Amin Sarr doubled their tally in the 80th minute. The final minutes was them under pressure when Abdallah Sima had reduced their lead but their blushes were spared by Bradley Barcola, who scored in the 90th minute to restore their two-goal advantage.
- What was Gernoble's last result? Grenoble gave a good account of their abilities against Ligue 2 leaders Le Havre in their last league outing. They matched their much-fancied rivals for the duration of the game and held their own in the nil-nil draw. Both sides were cautious in their approach to the game with only 8 goal attempts seen during the game. Possession stats favoured Le Havre slightly but it did nothing to separate them on the scoreboard.
