Two teams. Two coaches who count on the Coupe de France to salvage their record at the end of the season. Granted, Nice is in a far worse position than Lyon; but when you're coaching Lyon, you're expected to win the title, or, at the very least, to be qualified for the Champions League.

Against Caen today, Lyon will compete in the 217th Coupe de France match in its history. So this little known competition goes a long way, and few people know that the Football Club de Lyon played in 1917 already in the final of the very first edition of this competition, against Olympique .. de Pantin (a Paris suburb).
