Lille – Lyon Tip Coupe de France, round of 16 on Sunday, 11.01.26 at 21:00
Lille welcomes Lyon in a relatively early cracker of the Coupe de France. After all, shortly after New Year’s Day, the round of 16 of this illustrious tournament is only on the schedule of leading betting providers with PayPal.
Both clubs are real competitors in three competitions at the same time – even if the “Gones” have so far been able to clearly distance themselves from their upcoming opponents in the Europa League standings.
According to my Lille Lyon prediction, it is worthwhile to note the bet type 1st goal: Lyon at attractive odds of around 2.20 on your own betting slip or in the practical Bet-at-home App at the latest immediately before kick-off.
Because just in the furious 3-1 victory over Monaco just a week ago, the guests proved to all of France once again that hardly any other team starts a game better than OL itself!
Lille vs. Lyon AI Predictions:
I can see why our Lille Lyon AI prediction identified a simple draw bet at odds around 3.35 as possibly the only 1X2 option that would have a legitimate raison d’être on your bet slip.
A lot will depend on the form of the day on Saturday, and the last duels clearly show anyway how close it could be this time as well!
Watch out: In none of the last five direct duels between Lille and Lyon has there been more than one goal between winner and loser – even if Olympique almost always had the upper hand in the end (4 wins, 1 draw).

Olivier Giroud is more than just a nostalgic tip from our AI for the aging superstar’s followers – he could actually triple your bet with a bit of luck!
Sure, the former world-class striker hasn’t scored since November, but since his return from the States, he has scored all four of his goals for OSC at Stade Pierre-Mauroy and not away.
However, I reject both at odds around 1.65 as a proposal. Not because a 1:1 would be impossible, but because the ratio between the potential return and the risk traded simply does not fit.
A 0-0, 1-0 or 0-1 seems at least as likely as the final score – and is also paid out much better.
