Premier Sports 1 from 5.30pm Wednesday

Lyon v Caen

8pm

Lyon, beaten by Caen at this stage of last season’s competition, can exact revenge in front of their own fans. Caen haven’t beaten a Ligue 1 opponent since before Christmas and have been dragged into the relegation fight.

Good enough to share the spoils with the likes of Manchester City and Barcelona at home, they should be good enough to see off Caen in the cup.

Recommendation
Lyon
3pts 3-10 BoyleSports

Key stat
Lyon have lost three of their last 24 home matches.

Rennes v Orleans

5.30pm

Cup specialists Rennes should be too strong for Ligue 2 opponents Orleans. The Bretons, runners-up in each of France’s domestic knockouts in the past six years and now into the last 16 of the Europa League, are unbeaten in their last 11 home games.

Orleans, mid-division down a tier, saw off Ligue 2 leaders Metz in the last round but this is a step up.

Recommendation
Rennes
2pts 4-7 bet365, Betway

Key stat
Rennes are unbeaten in their last 11 home matches
