Lyon became the penultimate team, which qualified for the 1/4-finals in the League Cup. The players have a difficult match against the second-divisional Tours, but finally got a 2:1 victory that put them ahead in the tournament.
The chaplain of the `Kids` has released an optimal team for the last match of the team at home. However, this only once again underlined the difficulties they are experiencing in the current campaign. Tours offered a pretty decent game according live scores and was not scared to go on the attack.
However, the larger class of the hosts has `spoken` and they took the lead in the 38th minute. Claudio Buvo was accurate from the penalty spot and so the effect of the break was 1:0 to Olympique.
The tour came to the equality in the 72nd minute through the 22-year-old Ibrahima Tandia, and his goal seemed was going to send the match into extra time.
Five minutes before the end, again Buvo proved to be the saviour of Lyon, scoring for a 2:1 victory.
So before playing the last eighth-final between Paris-Saint Germain and St. Etienne, Lyon joined the company of Lille, Lorient, Guingamp, Toulouse, Bordeaux and Olympique Marseille, who already qualified for the quarterfinals.

Bayern Munich vs Darmstadt 98
In a meeting of the eighth finals of the tournament for the Cup of Germany, Bayern Munich is going to welcome Darmstadt 98. Here is our football prediction.
Most recently, Bayern Munich has made a surprising defeat against Borussia Monchengladbach, which was the first game of the season. Right after that 'Bavarians` fixed the mistake over the weekend as they defeated at home the team of Ingolstadt, after which the team managed to keep the 5-point lead in front of Borussia Dortmund.
Pep Guardiola continues to have a serious list of injured players. Arjen Robben and Douglas work at full speed, as their return is expected soon. However, Frank Ribery and Mario Gotze certainly will be left out. Together with them with different injuries are Juan Bernat, David Alaba and Maddy Benatia.
These shortages may not be fully covered, which is shown in the game of the 'Bavarians` for the last three rounds. Real Guardiola has currently 16 good players, but the expert could not afford more injuries.
Guardiola himself shared concerns of the upcoming match mentioned by 11livescore against Darmstadt, as even praised them for their presentation.
For Darmstadt 98 we can say that they present far better than expected. The team manages to remain near the middle of the table, and most interestingly, Darmstadt 98 won most of the points in the season mainly from its away games.
Over the weekend, the team was routed at home with 4:0 against Hertha Berlin, but it will hardly affect the psyche of the players. Against Bayern Munich, Schuster played early in the season, as the score was 0:3 in favour of Bayern.
In the personnel plan, the guests remained without the defender Fabian Holland and the midfielder Milan Ivana (0 games) and the suspended Jan Rosenthal.
Darmstadt 98 so far has never won the Cup of Germany, while Bayern Munich is the team with the most medals - 17 trophies as the last of them the Bavarians won last year.
Bayern Munich plays in such matches and would hardly afford to drop out of the race at this stage, but will probably be more 'economical` on goals scored.
Our football forecast is under 3.5 goals.

Sion vs Liverpool
Sion will welcome the team of Liverpool in a meeting of group B of the Europa League. Check out our soccer prediction.
Sion let a first loss in the tournament adviced by insider picks in the last round. The Swiss lost with 2:0 against Rubin Kazan and questioned their participation in the next phase. Sion is on the 2nd place in the standings of group B and it needs at least a point against Liverpool to be a participant in the next phase. Before the duel with the Swiss, the manager of Merseysiders, Didier Tolot, has some personnel problems. Because of an injury he will not be able to rely on Moussa Konate, Martin Zeman, Vero Salatic and Gregory Glen. Birama is suspended. Zion was able to steal a point in their visit at Anfield and now will choose the same strategy for the derby with Merseysiders.
Liverpool secured participation in the next phase with success over Bordeaux with 2:1. However, Merseysiders will attend the match seriously and seek success to secure the first place in the group. Juergen Klopp is among the managers, who do not like to lose and will certainly use the best players against Sion. The German specialist will not be able to rely on Daniel Sturridge, who received yet another concussion, and with injuries are also Mamadou Sakho, Joe Gomez, Danny Ings and John Flanagan. Felipe Coutinho resumed workouts after treatment of an injury, but we don`t think he will be risked in this fight. In attack, Klopp will bet on Divok Origi, who recently realized his first hat-trick for Liverpool. A chance for expression will be received and by players such as Adam Bogdan, Kolo Toure and Connor Randall who are less common in accounts of Juergen Klopp. As a holder after a long treatment of trauma we will see back the master of Merseysiders - Jordan Henderson.
Liverpool`s the classier team and will hardly underestimate Sion. Juergen Klopp knows how to earn such duels and expect Merseysiders to leave with three points from Switzerland, which will provide them with the first place in the group.
Our soccer forecast is 2.
