Nimes vs Lyon Predictions

• Lyon have won three of their four previous games against Nimes, keeping clean sheets in three of those encounters
• Lyon have won four of their last six matches in all competitions
• Nimes are without a win in their last five home games

Lyon to put pressure on the top three with a win

Nimes ran out 3-0 winners against Metz last time out, keeping their hopes of escaping relegation alive. However, the hosts remian 3pts adrift from safety with just two games left to play so can’t really afford to drop any points this weekend. Lyon secured a comfortable 4-1 win against struggling Lorient a week ago and they sit 4th in the table, a point behind Monaco.

When these two sides met in September they played out a rather boring goalless draw but their three meetings prior to that stalemate produced wins for Lyon. Lyon have kept three clean sheets in their four previous encounters with Nimes and know just what it takes to shut their hosts out of matches.

In terms of form, Lyon are the favourites to win on Sunday as they have claimed four victories in their last six outings, while Nimes have only managed to win one of their last six fixtures. The hosts have particularly struggled at home of late, failing to win any of their last five matches at the Stade des Costières.

We’re predicting a win and a clean sheet for Lyon this weekend as they have good record against their guests and seem to enjoy keeping clean sheets against them. As for a final scoreline, we’re going with a 2-0 victory for Lyon as they have scored at least 2-goals in five of their last six matches.
