Nantes and Olympique Lyon square off in the semi-finals of the Coupe de France on Wednesday. With a place in the final on the line, we anticipate a thrilling battle at the Stade de la Beaujoire – Louis Fonteneau as both sides edge closer to their first silverware of the season. Nantes failed to arrest their slump on Sunday as they suffered a 3-0 thrashing at the hands of Stade de Reims.
Antoine Kombouare’s men have now gone six consecutive games without a win in Ligue 1, picking up two points from a possible 18 since February’s 1-0 win over Lorient. Nantes will be looking to find their feet as they turn their attention to the Coupe de France, where they edged out Lens 2-1 in their quarter-final clash on March 1.
Elsewhere, Olympique Lyon turned in a superb team performance last time out as they claimed a 1-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes. Laurent Blanc’s men are currently unbeaten in six consecutive games, claiming three draws and three wins, including a 2-1 victory over Grenoble Foot in the cup quarter-finals on February 28.
