Where the Lionceaux (the cubs) meet Lyon... This saturday, the FC Sochaux-Montbéliard, unbeaten in three matches, hosts the Olympique Lyonnais, currently fourth before this 27th day of Ligue 1. The Lyonnais have the opportunity to overtake Marseille and reach the third step of the podium, getting closer (at 1 point distance) to the leader, Lille, until they play on sunday, and to Rennes who lost to Marseille (2-0).

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).
