Our Top Best Predictions for Lyon vs Nice
Contents
This is a matchup between the sixth-best team on home record and the away best. But if we look at the reverse meeting, a goal-fest that ended 3-2 in favour of Nice promises a battle of the weekend at the Groupama Stadium. Both teams suffered a defeat in their last Ligue 1 match. Our best predictions for Lyon vs Nice are as follows:
BTTS @ 7/10 (1.70)
While most of the bookies have handed Lyon an edge in this game, losing 3-2 in the reverse match means this will not be walkover for Peter Bosz and his men. The hosting manager has previously lost to Nice head coach, Galtier, in the only meeting between the two tacticians. Also, note that both teams scored in the last five Ligue 1 meetings. Backing goals on both ends is a good pick for two teams with an impressive scoring run.
Over 2.5 @ 4/5 (1.80)
Our tipsters have settled on more than two goals as the second prediction for this game. It is worth noting that all the last five Ligue 1 meetings between Lyon and Nice yielded more than two goals, the height of which was in the last three. A total of five goals were scored in each of the last three Ligue 1 meetings.

Lyon vs Nice Ligue 1 Preview, Team News and Lineups
Lyon is the sixth-best team on home run after 12 Ligue 1 games at the Groupama Stadium. In those games, the hosts scored 21 goals and leaked 13. The good scoring form at home should motivate Lyons’s squad in this game as they look to avenge 3-2 loss in the reverse fixture. Nice has been strong defensively away from home, leaking only five goals and scoring 20 in 11 trips. However, lack of clean sheet against Lyon in the last five league meetings is why we feel there will be lots of goals in this game.
Lyon predicted lineup: Lopes, Lukeba, Dubois, Boateng, Henrique, Gutso, Caqueret, Mendes, Palmieri, Paqueta and Dembele.
Nice predicted lineup: Bulka, Bard, Dante, Daniliuc, Todibo, Kluivert, Schneiderlin, Rosario, Thuram, Delort, and Guiri.
Lyon will be without the service of several players in this game. They include Silva who is down with ankle injury, Aouar (thigh injury), Denayer (ankle injury), Adelaide (cruciate ligament), Pintor (cruciate ligament), Cherki (broken foot), Kadewere (muscle injury) and Toko Ekambi. On the flip-side, Nice will make this trip to Lyon without two players namely Amavi who is nursing a knee injury and Benitez sidelined with COVID.
