Tuesday's Coupe de France predictions including Marseille vs. Lille

Bastia vs. Nice (Tuesday, 7.45pm)

Aiming to advance to the Coupe de France round of 16 for the second time in four years, Bastia welcome Ligue 1 side Nice to Stade Armand-Cesari in Tuesday night's round of 32 contest.

Although the Ligue 2 outfit have been in fine goalscoring form in 2025, their top-flight opponents have similarly been potent in the attacking third, pointing to a mouthwatering cup tie in Corsica.

We say: Bastia 1-3 Nice

Although a cup tie, Bastia and Nice's recent matches have produced goals, and Tuesday's should be no different.

Regardless, the Eaglets' superior quality should see them end their three-match winless run against the Ligue 2 side and advance to the last 16.

Marseille vs. Lille (Tuesday, 8.10pm)

In one of three all-Ligue 1 clashes in the Coupe de France round of 32, Marseille welcome Lille to the Stade Velodrome on Tuesday, keen to extend their unbeaten start to 2025.

Conversely, their opponents have battled to consecutive top-flight draws and barely made it through their round of 64 meeting with third-tier Rouen, highlighting their indifferent form before facing Roberto De Zerbi's men.

We say: Marseille 2-1 Lille

The competition's format of penalties following normal time means Marseille will want to finish the tie in 90 minutes to avoid another shoot-out after consecutive disappointments in 2023 and last year.

Backed by the home support, De Zerbi's free-scoring side should eke out a close victory over Lille to end the away side's 19-match unbeaten sequence and Les Olympiens' four-game streak without beating Tuesday's opponents.
