Nantes and Lyon face each other this Wednesday, April 5 in the first semi-final of the Coupe de France. Discover all the information of this meeting.
FC Nantes is having a complicated second half of the season and the Coupe de France could sound like the last chance to save the Canaries season. Antoine Kombouaré’s men are the title holders and could achieve a great feat by keeping the latter but the dynamic of Nantes is not good with four straight games without a win. “It’s the most important game of the season,” said the Nantes coach.
Opposite OL are also certainly playing their most important match of the season this Wednesday evening. Indeed, the Gones are having a hard time participating in the fight for Europe in Ligue 1 this season but could find a competition from the Old Continent next season by winning the Coupe de France. For that, we must beat Nantes and the victory against PSG this Sunday (1-0) could give confidence to the players of Laurent Blanc who declared that there was no “euphoria” because the season crossed by the ‘OL is very complicated.
