The Coupe de France semi-final between Olympique Lyon and Valenciennes presents an intriguing matchup between a top-tier team and a struggling lower-division side. Lyon, the clear favorites, boast a rich history in French football, while Valenciennes, currently in Ligue 2, faces a tough battle against relegation. Lyon has progressed impressively, overcoming several challenges to reach the semi-finals. Their recent form has been steady, albeit with a mixed record at home. Despite scoring only moderately at the Groupama Stadium, Lyon's defensive stability has improved significantly, conceding fewer goals in recent matches. Key to Lyon's success has been the prolific scoring form of Lacazette, who has been instrumental in their attacking play. Lacazette's ability to find the net consistently makes him a prime candidate to score in this match, enhancing Lyon's chances of securing a victory. On the other hand, Valenciennes faces an uphill battle, languishing at the bottom of Ligue 2 and struggling to find the back of the net. Their away record in the league is particularly poor, although their performances in the Coupe de France have been somewhat better. However, the impending departures of key players Boutoutaou and Hamache could further weaken Valenciennes' attacking prowess. Given Valenciennes' offensive struggles and Lyon's defensive improvement, it's plausible to expect Lyon to dominate proceedings and secure a comfortable victory. Additionally, Lyon's home advantage and superior quality should further tilt the scales in their favour. Overall, Lyon's solid form, coupled with Valenciennes' challenges, make Lyon the clear favourites for this encounter. Therefore, bet falls on Lyon to cover -1.5 AH and progress to the final of the Coupe de France.
