Nice to Win

Reason for tip

Successive defeats to Strasbourg and Montpellier have made for a disappointing start to the season for Lyon, who should be taken on when they visit the Allianz Riviera to face Nice.

Nice 2-1

Reason for tip

Although it was an underwhelming campaign, Lyon scored in 16 of their 19 away fixtures in Ligue 1 last term and can get on the scoresheet in defeat, so back a 2-1 win for Nice.

Nice vs Lyon Predictions

  • Lyon have lost their opening two games of the season by an aggregate score of 6-2
  • Nice have lost only two of their last 16 home games in Ligue 1
  • Lyon scored in 16 of their 19 away fixtures in the league last term

Struggling Lyon will not be helped by Lacazette absence

Lyon missed out on the European places in Ligue 1 last season and a repeat could be on the cards this campaign based on their first two performances.

Les Gones slipped to a surprise 2-1 defeat to Strasbourg on the opening weekend of the season and things went from bad to worse in their first home contest as they were hammered 4-1 by Montpellier.

Lyon had forward Alexandre Lacazette sent off in that contest and will be without the former Arsenal man for this weekend’s visit to Nice, who are worth a bet to win.

Nice can continue decent home run

Nice have started the season with successive draws but neither of those results were disgraceful with both of their opponents – Lille and Lorient – have finished in the top half last term.

Nice won the corresponding fixture against Lyon 3-1 on the final day of last season and have lost only two league fixtures at the Allianz Riviera since September 2022.

But while they look the best selection to win the match, goals could be on the cards and a 2-1 win for the club from Cote d’Azur looks a wise correct score prediction.
