Lyon will host Lens in the French Cup quarterfinals. The hosts have looked inconsistent in recent league rounds, having lost two matches in a row. However, the Weavers' attack has been robust: they have scored eight goals in their last five games.
Lens is also known for its high-scoring football. The team has scored in seventeen consecutive matches, but the "blood and gold" team's problem is their defense: they have conceded seven goals in their last five matches. Their only head-to-head meeting this season ended with a narrow 1-0 victory for Lyon, but the cup game will likely be more open.
Given the attacking potential of both teams and their defensive woes, a goal-scoring bet seems more than justified. Lyon needs to bounce back from two consecutive league defeats, while Lens consistently scores on the road.
