Lyon vs Nice Live Stream & Betting Tips – Les Gones to Extend Their Ligue 1 Winning Run
In the faceoff between Lyon and Nice, the latter is in a dire predicament, having lost seven of their last nine away matches and hovering just six points above the relegation zone. This lackluster performance places Lyon as heavy favorites, particularly given their strong form this season. For bettors, a win for Lyon at home appears to be a promising option.

75 Years Old Rivalry
Lyon had more success in previous head to head, winning 52 out of 122 matches while Nice celebrated 42 victories.
Red-Hot Les Gones
Lyon are the hottest team in Ligue 1, with six straight victories pushing them up to 3rd place and reigniting a glimmer of hope of rejoining the title race.
Both of their February appearances were narrow 1-0 victories against Lille (Noah Nartey on target) and Nantes (won even though Endrick was sent off in the 60th minute).
Paulo Fonseca’s side also delivered in other competitions, beating PAOK 4-2 in the Europa League to finish 1st in the group phase, while also outplaying Laval 2-0 in the French Cup last week.
Poor Campaign for Nice
Nice had an awful first part of the Ligue 1 season, spent a majority of time sitting just above the relegation zone, and things haven’t improved much since Claude Puel was named new head manager in late December.
They won just one out of five league games under his leadership, recording a heavy loss to Toulouse 5-1 in mid-January.
Also, the Eaglets were one of the worst performing teams in the Europa League with three points in eight rounds, wrapping up the campaign with a recent 1-0 defeat to Ludogorets.
Predicted Lineups & Team News
Lyon (4-3-3) Dominik Greif; Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Clinton Mata, Moussa Niakhate, Abner Vinicius; Tanner Tessmann, Tyler Morton, Noah Nartey; Rachid Ghezzal, Pavel Sulc, Afonso Moreira
Rising star Endrick was sent off last weekend against Nantes and can’t feature here. Malick Fofana is out with an ankle injury.
Nice (4-2-3-1) Maxime Dupe; Jonathan Clauss, Dante, Kojo Peprah Oppong, Ali Abdi; Salis Abdul Samed, Charles Vanhoutte; Gabin Bernardeau, Sofiane Diop, Tom Louchet; Elye Wahi
The visitors are without Morgan Sanson who is out with an ankle injury, while Melvin Bard is also unavailable due to a groin problem.
Verdict
Nice are having a poor run this season, sitting just six points above the red zone and losing seven of their last nine games on the road. Red-hot Lyon shouldn’t have problems here, a home win being the best bet.
