Lyon - Nice Prediction, Picks and Tips
Less than half of Ligue 1 matches remain to be played, and Lyon are not where they want to be. Lyon lost in the last game, away, so that, before the stage, it is only on the 9th place of the ranking, with 34 points accumulated after 23 matches. Between Lyon and Nice, which is in 3rd place, is a distance of eight points. Which can be recovered in three stages. But Lyon's game is not convincing. It was a last defeat, score 0-2, away from AS Monaco. A first defeat after eight matches in which the Lyonnais did not lose, but ended in a draw five times. At home, Lyon has two consecutive victories. The last one was against the rival Marseille, score 2-1, after at the break the hosts were led by 0-1. Shaqiri and Dembele scored for OL. Meanwhile, the Swiss Shaqiri was transferred to the USA, to Chicago Fire. And the other victory "at home" was against St. Etienne, score 1-0. Dembele has scored in three of Lyon's last four games.
Nice travels to Lyon with high morale. He won his home game with Olympique Marseille in the middle of the week and qualified for the French Cup semi-finals, being the favorite to win the trophy. Nice was leading from the 3rd minute with 0-1, but it returned soon and did not give up the game. Delort scored decisively in the first two goals scored by Gouiri and Kluivert. Shortly after the start of the second half, Justin Kluivert scored again, and Delort dispelled any excitement regarding the qualification. 4-1 and qualification for the team coached by Galtier. But Nice has so far looked like a away team. He has not lost "out" since October 17, 2021, from a trip to Troyes. There were only victories and a draw at PSG. And a qualification, also with PSG, obtained in the tiebreaks, after 0-0 in regular time. And Lyon has every reason to be afraid of Nice. In a partial ranking, only of the away games, the team coached by Galtier would be on the first place in Ligue 1 - eight victories, a draw and two defeats. Before the stage, Nice occupies the 3rd position of the ranking, one point behind the 2nd place occupant, Olympique Marseille.
