Lyon vs Nice Predictions

• Five of Lyon’s last six outings have seen both teams score
• Both teams have netted in eight of Nice’s last ten fixtures
• Lyon have kept just one clean sheet in the last seven attempts

Lyon looking to leapfrog their opponents

Lyon head into this fixture sitting just one point behind Nice in the table, helped by a run of seven-game unbeaten run in the French top flight.

Four of those games have seen both teams score, as have five of their last six outings across all competitions, highlights the defensive problems the Kids are struggling with.

Indeed, Pierre Sage’s side beat Qarabag 4-1 in the Europa League on Thursday, which means they have kept only one clean sheet in their last seven attempts.

Lyon need to bounce back

4-1 was the score for Nice in midweek as well, although they were on the wrong end of a hammering at the hands of Rangers.

That result means eight of their last ten fixtures have seen both teams score, keeping just one clean sheet themselves during that period.

That came in a 1-0 success at Brest, but otherwise the Eaglets have had both teams score in five of their last six league outings, during which they are unbeaten.

I predict that both teams will score in this game, with 1-1 my correct score prediction.
