All eyes will be on Parc Olympique Lyonnais when Lyon and Monaco face each other in the Coupe de France quarter-finals.
Les Gones failed to impress in the previous round, with the team beating lower-league side Red Star after penalties, but given their attacking potential, we are positive that the hosts will find the net in Wednesday’s French Cup clash.
Lyon boss Rudi Garcia can count on key players for the Coupe de France clash.
Les Rouges et Blancs, on the other hand, looked sharp in front of goal in the Ligue 1 win (3-0) over Bordeaux, and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score.
The likes of Diatta, Matazo, Matsima, and Millot have been tested positive for coronavirus, while Geubbels and Fabregas are sidelined with injuries. In their last meeting in the Ligue 1 Lyon crushed Monaco 4-1.

Team News:
Lyon attacker Tino Kadewere has been restricted to individual training as he attempts to overcome a thigh injury, so the Zimbabwe international is expected to sit this one out alongside Djamel Benlamri, who has a muscular problem.
However, Houssem Aouar made his return to the pitch off the bench against Nantes and could earn a start in this game, while Thiago Mendes has been sacrificed in Garcia's new setup but could also benefit from some rotation here.
Cup keeper Julian Pollersbeck will hope to continue in between the sticks should Anthony Lopes be rested, while teenage protege Rayan Cherki is an option for change in attack over Karl Toko Ekambi.
Monaco announced that four unnamed players had tested positive for coronavirus before their trip to Bordeaux, and reports have suggested that the infected athletes are Eliot Matazo, Krepin Diatta, Enzo Millot and Chrislain Matsima, who were all nowhere to be seen at the weekend.
Cesc Fabregas is not quite ready to return from his muscular problem just yet, either, but Kovac could make one potential alteration in midfield if Florentino does enough to earn a start over Youssouf Fofana.
Radoslaw Majecki is expected to get the nod in goal, while Axel Disasi and Ruben Aguilar could be rotated into Kovac's staunch rearguard.
Lyon possible starting lineup:
Pollersbeck; De Sciglio, Denayer, Diomande, Cornet; Mendes, Aouar; Cherki, Paqueta, Depay; Slimani
Monaco possible starting lineup:
Majecki; Sidibe, Disasi, Badiashile, Ballo-Toure; Florentino, Tchouameni; Aguilar, Volland, Golovin; Jovetic
