Lyon comes from a great victory in the French Championship against Paris Saint Germain and arrives with morale for the Cup confrontation. However, the team occupies only ninth place in Ligue 1, with 44 points and far from a place for the Champions League.
Nantes, in turn, has not been doing a great French either and is bitterly in 14th place in the table. With just 30 points, coach Antoine Kombouaré’s team is still at risk of relegation in the competition.
