Winner : Lyon
Lyon and Nice are both having a rough time lately. Lyon has lost most of their recent matches and only managed a couple of draws, while Nice has been struggling even more, losing almost every game. When these two teams meet, the games often have plenty of goals, though a few recent meetings were tighter.
Given how both sides are playing, this one looks like a close match that could go either way. Lyon seems slightly more likely to come out on top, but a draw is also very possible, so it’s a hard one to call.
