Lyon vs Paris Saint-Germain

Stade Pierre-Mauroy will crown the new Coupe de France champions as Lyon and Paris Saint-Germain go head-to-head in the 107th of the cup final.

Not since 2012 have Lyon hoisted the Coupe de France crown, but their hopes of conquering the competition for the sixth time face the most challenging task in French football. The recent H2H record spells trouble for Les Gones, as they’ve lost their last four league meetings with PSG by a combined score of 10-2. However, they’ll take the field in high spirits after securing Europa League qualification following one of the most incredible turnarounds in recent Ligue 1 history. Since Pierre Sage’s appointment at the start of Lyon’s cup campaign, no side has picked up more Ligue 1 points than the Groupama outfit’s 46. On top of that, Sage’s men have excelled in the Coupe de France, with four of their five cup wins seeing them score 2+ goals and three being followed by a clean sheet.

On the other hand, PSG steamrolled to a record-extending 12th Ligue 1 title and will be out to win their first domestic double since 2019/20. A first-half winner from the outgoing superstar, Kylian Mbappe, helped Les Parisiens see off Rennes in the Coupe de France semi-finals and book their 20th final date. Clear-cut favorites to climb to the podium, Luis Enrique’s men couldn’t care less about leaving Paris after becoming the first side in Ligue 1 history to go the entire league campaign unbeaten on the road. Further confidence stems from PSG’s thumping 4-1 H2H win in April, making them the only side to have defeated Lyon since the start of March. That win forms part of PSG’s dominant 12-game H2H form against Les Gones (W8, D2, L2).
