Nice – Lyon

Nice host Lyon in what promises to be a stark contrast of form in the league. The home side sit 18th with just two points from four games, having failed to win and conceding five goals while scoring only once. Lyon sit comfortably in fourth place, boasting eight points from an unbeaten run of four, a +4 goal difference and a solid 6‑2 tally. The gap in both points and recent results suggests Lyon will enter the match as clear favourites, while Nice will be desperate to snap their early-season slump. The encounter could prove pivotal for Nice’s survival hopes and a chance for Lyon to cement a top‑four push.
