Lyon – Nice

Lyon head into the clash at home perched in fourth place with eight points from two wins and two draws, boasting a comfortable 6‑2 goal difference. Their opponents, Nice, languish at the foot of the table in eighteenth, having amassed just two points from two stalemates and two defeats and a worrying -4 deficit on the scoresheet. The gap in both form and firepower suggests Lyon will look to extend their unbeaten run, while Nice will be desperate for a first win to climb out of the relegation zone. Historically the two sides have exchanged blows, but Lyon’s recent consistency gives them a clear edge as they aim to consolidate their position near the top of the league.
