Bourgoin vs Olympique Lyonnais Prediction and Betting Tips | January 15th 2024

Bourgoin will face Olympique Lyonnais at the Stade Pierre Rajon on Wednesday in the round of 32 of the 2024-25 Coupe de France campaign. The home side, who currently ply their trade in the fifth tier of French football, have exceeded expectations in the domestic cup this season and are now set for a historic matchup this week.

They easily saw off St Just St Rambert and Olympique De Valence in the first two rounds of the domestic cup back in November. They then locked horns with second-tier Martigues in the last 64 of the tournament and picked up an impressive 4-1 victory, with Pierre Kohser and Celal Bozkurt scoring braces.

Olympique Lyonnais have had a largely positive campaign and are targeting a deep cup run. They opened their Coupe de France campaign against Feignies last month and won 2-1, with Said Benrahma and Georges Mikautadze getting on the scoresheet in either half before their opponents pulled one back in additional time.

The six-time winners of the domestic cup were beaten in the final by Paris Saint-Germain last season and will be looking to go all the way this time around.

Bourgoin vs Olympique Lyonnais Prediction

Bourgoin will head into the cup tie on a high, having won six of their last seven matches. They are, however, going up against one of the biggest teams in the country and can only be expected to give a good account of themselves.

Lyon have won two of their last three matches and six of their last eight. They have had mixed results on the road of late but are by far the stronger side ahead of the midweek clash and should win this one.

Prediction: Bourgoin 1-3 Olympique Lyonnais
