Lyon are one of the most successful Ligue 1 teams in 2024, while Valenciennes are already relegated from tier-two division. I expect to see a one-sided clash and Lyon to win to nil.

Head to Head

Lyon have an 8-3 advantage against Valenciennes with 5 draws in 16 matches.

They last met in April 2014, the game being won by Lyon 2-1.

Lyon Form

Lyon’s performances in the French Cup have been great so far, reaching the semi-finals by beating Pontarlier 3-0, Bergerac 2-1, Lille 2-1 and most recently Strasbourg after a penalty shootout (0-0 FT).

After starting this month with a disappointing 3-0 home loss to Lens, Les Gones bounced back in Ligue 1 with two straight victories against Lorient 2-0 and Toulouse 3-2.

Their winning streak has ended on Saturday with a 1-1 home draw against Reims, Ernest Nuamah scoring an equalizer in the second half.

Lyon currently sit in 10th place on the Ligue 1 table with 35 points from 27 matches, so their best chance of playing in European competitions next season is to win the French Cup.

Lyon Injuries & Team News

There are no injured or suspended players for Lyon ahead of this match.

Valenciennes Form

Valenciennes are having an awful campaign in Ligue 2, having no chance to avoid relegation after collecting just 17 points from 30 matches, sitting lonely at the bottom of the standings.

They were defeated during the mid-week action by St Etienne 2-0, which was their second consecutive loss after losing to Guingamp 3-0 earlier this month.

Even though they reached the semi-finals, Valenciennes didn’t face any of the top tier teams in the French Cup. They eliminated Sarreguemines 2-0, Paris FC 2-1, St Priest 2-1 and Rouen on penalties (1-1 in regular time).

Jordan Poha, David Kruse and Allan Linguet are injured.

Verdict

Lyon v Valenciennes

Valenciennes are the worst-performing team in Ligue 2, failing to score in their last five league games. Lyon’s form in 2024 has been amazing, so I am backing the hosts to win to nil.
