Nice vs Lyon Predictions

• Nice have won their last six home Ligue 1 matches
• Lyon have scored in defeats at PSG, Brest and Marseille across their last five league trips
• The visitors have scored in 10 consecutive away league games

Nice can edge key clash

Two of Ligue 1’s form sides meet on Sunday in a key game in the European chase. Nice are making a late push for second, but they’re only seven points clear of a Lyon side who excelled down the stretch last term.

Lyon surged into the top six last season after spending the first half of the campaign battling relegation, but they are juggling European football this time around. They were on the road in midweek, while Nice have been prepping for this game since the weekend.

The hosts have won five of their previous six Ligue 1 matches and they’ve stretched together a six-game winning streak at home. Opponents Lyon have lost at PSG, Brest and Marseille across their last five trips, so the hosts look good to edge this contest.

However, Lyon have netted in 10 consecutive away league games and five of Nice’s six clashes at home to the top eight have featured both teams scoring, so back Nice to win and concede in what should be an entertaining match.
