Marseille to Win to Nil
Ligue 2’s Annecy are in largely unchartered territory in the last eight of the Coupe de France, though their run to the final stages of the competition has been aided by some favourable draws, indeed, they will face a top tier outfit for the first time in the tournament when they take on Marseille on Wednesday. Annecy scraped two the previous two rounds on spot-kicks and we expect the gulf between them and OM to be evident in midweek. The hosts have kept clean sheets in two of their last three cup tests and our opening Marseille vs Annecy prediction backs them to win to nil again here.
Marseille -1.0 Goal Handicap
Marseille have a huge chance to land some silverware this season in the form of the Coupe de France and we’re tipping Igor Tudor’s charges to make light work of their lower-league opponents in the quarter-finals on Wednesday. With home advantage to enjoy, OM should have far too much class and firepower for Annecy, and a victory by a decent margin could be secured if they start quickly. With that considered, a stake on Marseille in the -1.0 goal handicap market could be an option to settle on.

Marseille vs Annecy Team News & Injuries
Read all of the latest injury updates, Marseille vs Annecy lineups and team news for Wednesday’s Coupe de France match below.
Marseille
Marseille have few injury worries to trouble them at present and defender Samuel Gigot could be their only absentee on Wednesday. OM were beaten 3-0 at home by PSG at the weekend in a defeat that all but dashed their slim title hopes, though they did beat the Parisians 2-1 in the previous round of the Coupe de France.
Predicted Lineup for Marseille: Lopez – Bailly, Balerdi, Kolasinac – Tavares, Rongier, Veretout, Malinovskyi – Under, Guendouzi, Sanchez
Annecy
Annecy like to line up in a 4-3-3 formation and a similar set-up should be on show again on Wednesday at the Stade Orange Vélodrome. Annecy were walloped 5-1 by Sochaux in their last league fixture, though their players probably had a least one eye on their huge quarter-final fixture this week.
Predicted Lineup for Annecy: Callens – Falconnier, Mouanga, Jean, Basitan – Rocchi, Goncalves, Billemaz – Balde, Shamal, Bosetti
Player to Watch – Alexis Sánchez
Veteran Chilean Alexis Sánchez is enjoying a renaissance with Marseille and the 34-year-old scored crucial goals in two of the Coupe de France’s last three rounds. Sanchez has also notched nine times in Ligue 1 this term and he is playing with all the energy he showed as a younger player in the Premier League with Arsenal.
Starting Lineups
