Marseille look dodgy favourites in French League Cup clash

BT Sport ESPN, from 5.30pm Wednesday

Marseille v Strasbourg

8.05pm

Marseille have won just two of their last ten games in all competitions and make little appeal at short prices for their Coupe de la Ligue last-16 clash with Strasbourg.

• Ligue 1 standings

The visitors dumped out Lille, second in the top flight, in the previous round and are one of only two sides to have taken a point off champions-elect PSG this season.

Recommendation
Strasbourg or draw double chance
1pt 13-8 bet365

Key stat
Strasbourg have lost just one of their last five away matches.

Amiens v Lyon

5.30pm

Amiens gave their survival hopes a boost with victory at rock-bottom Guingamp last weekend, but don't look in good enough nick to claim the scalp of Lyon in the last 16 of the Coupe de la Ligue.

The hosts needed a late winner to see off second-tier Metz in the last round and, with just one point to show from their seven league meetings with top-six rivals, could be readily outclassed.

Recommendation
Lyon
2pts 8-11 Betway

Key stat
Amiens have lost their last three home league games.
