Lyon vs Nice Prediction and Betting Tips

The Ligue 1 is back in action with another round of matches this week as Lyon lock horns with Nice in an important encounter at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais on Friday.

Lyon vs Nice Preview

Nice are currently in ninth place in the Ligue 1 standings and have been plagued by inconsistency so far this season. The away side edged Brest to a 1-0 victory last week and will look to achieve a similar result in this fixture.

Lyon, on the other hand, are in eighth place in the league table at the moment and have not been at their best this year. Les Gones slumped to a disappointing 1-0 defeat at the hands of Marseille in their previous game and will need to bounce back this week.
