Nice and Lyon, two of the oldest and fiercest rivals in French football’s history, will go up against each other in the 25th round of the Ligue 1 on Sunday.
Nice will enjoy an upper hand as they are playing at home, but Lyon’s defence is known to be close to rock-solid, with their attackers more than willing to play their part.
Injuries to Morgan Sanson, Tanguy Ndombele and Terem Moffi will hurt Nice in this game, but they will hope that others in the squad stand up to take their chances whenever they get the opportunity to do so.
Nice have scored 11 goals in their last 5 matches, which means that they are in close to red-hot form in the final third. They have also built a fortress of the Riviera this campaign, as they are ranked 3rd at home this season.
They come into this match on the back of four consecutive wins, and two clean sheets in them. This is bound to give them a big advantage.
Nice predicted lineup vs Lyon (3-4-2-1): Bulka; Ndayishimiye, Dante, Bard; Clauss, Boudaoui, Santamaria, Abdi; Guessand, Laborde; Moukoko.
Lyon are one of the most well-balanced outfits in the Ligue 1 this season, with an exciting mixture of youth and experience in their squad.
They have also managed to have a side filled with fairly good attackers, midfielders and defenders; players who have played in other countries share space with those who have usually spent all their years in France.
Lyon will be lucky considering the fact that they do not have any injuries at all this game; they will be able to select their best possible starting XI without any impediment whatsoever.
If we were considering Nice, who have scored 11 goals in their last five matches, to be a dangerous proposition, what can we say about the prospects of Lyon, who have scored 14 goals in their last 5 matches?
Star attacker Rayan Cherki is ranked 1st in big chances created in the competition (15), and will be the one to watch out for on Sunday. Having won 3-1 against FCSB midweek, Lyon will be on cloud number nine and wishing to win more matches on the roll.
Lyon predicted lineup vs Nice (4-2-3-1): Perri; Kumbedi, Mata, Niakhate, Tagliafico; Tessmann, Matic; Cherki, Tolisso, Nuamah; Lacazette.
Bet hereBoth teams are very nicely matched with each other, but our prediction is for Lyon to either win or draw this game. Although they are ranked sixth in the table, three spots below Nice (who are third), they will have an advantage given the presence of so many top-class attackers in their lineup.
Lyon have won or drawn 21 out of the 33 games played between these two teams in the past, and this history is bound to favour them here as well.
Lyon beat Nice 4-1 the last time these two teams met as well, in December 2024, in the reverse fixture of this encounter.
It is but natural for us to provide the pick for both teams to score (BTTS) in this game since they have so many world-class attacking players in their respective rosters.
While Nice have the likes of Laborde and Guessand to rely upon, for Lyon, captain Lacazette and Cherki will provide all the gunpowder at the top of the tree.
Nice have seen BTTS in two out of their last three matches, whereas for Lyon, the same has taken place in four out of their last five outings.
