In previous years a game between Lyon and Nice would be a derby at the top. A game between team vying for the top spots in Ligue 1, or even for the title. However, Lyon is facing serious troubles this season and the team is not out of the relegation battle yet and Nice’s title push has cooled to the point of wishful thinking.
Lyon Team News
Les Gones have managed to achieve a revival under Pierre Sage. From looking straight at relegation before Christmas to solidifying in the mid-table in February. Three wins in the last 5 Ligue 1 games have boosted Lyon out of the relegation zone. If we take the last 5 games from all competitions we will see Les Gones with 4 wins and 1 loss. At the Parc Olympique Lyonnais, the team has 3 wins in the last 5 home games, coupled with 2 losses. Four of the last five games from all competitions for Lyon have seen over 2.5 goals and scoring done from both sides.
Nice Team News
Francesco Farioli’s side is enjoying an overall good season in which they are considered title contenders. However, recent results have widened the gap with PSG to 11 points and ambitions seem to have cooled. Nice’s reset record in Ligue 1 stands at 2 wins, 2 losses and a draw in their last 5 Ligue 1 games. Three of those games were goal-shy with less that 2.5 goals scored. The silver lining for Les Aiglons is that they managed to keep 3 clean sheets in these 5 games. Away from home, the team has scored just 1 goal in their last 5 away games. Despite the loss in the previous round, Nice are yet to record back-to-back losses in the league this season.
Head-to-Head-Games
Clashes between Lyon and Nice are always interesting and Nice have a slight advantage in the last 5 meetings. They have secured 2 wins, whilst Lyon have won once with the rest of the games being draws. Three of the last 5 games featured over 2.5 goals and scoring from both sides.
Lyon – Nice Betting Prediction
Lyon are playing good at home recently and they are getting results. On the other side, Nice are yet to secure back-to-back losses in the league and judging by this season, they should be able to bounce back. I see this as a game where both Lyon and Nice find the goal.
