Lyon welcome Nice at Groupama Stadium, Lyon on Sunday, Oct 18 at 8:45 PM in a Ligue 1 fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.
Lyon come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Nice travel in mixed form (2W 1D 2L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts. Lyon head into this on the back of a defeat, while Nice arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.
In 10 previous meetings, Lyon lead 5–3 with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Lyon won 2–0. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Lyon a slight edge, but Nice are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
