About this match

**Lyon's hosting Nice with serious firepower missing from both sides — but the hosts have momentum and home advantage on lock.** 🔥

Lyon's cruising on 3W-1D-1L form, including a brutal 4-0 demolition of Rennes. Nice are 2-2-1 and leaky on the road, so the Groupama Stadium vibe should favor the home crowd. That said, both teams are riddled with injuries — Lyon without **L. Openda** and **M. Niakhaté**, Nice without **A. Mendy** and **L. Abergel** among others.

Key storylines:

- **Lyon's attacking depth**: With **E. Nuamah** and **P. Šulc** tasked to carry the load up front, the midfield trio of **C. Tolisso**, **T. Morton**, and **M. d. Carvalho** has to stay sharp.

- **Nice's shaky away record**: **E. Wahi** and **S. Diop** will need to spark something in a hostile environment; they've lost two of their last five on the road.

- **H2H lean to Lyon**: Historically 40-24 in Lyon's favor over 84 meetings — the script favors the hosts.

Expected lineups:

- **Olympique Lyonnais**: D. Greif, Z. Athekame, F. Bacher, Abner Vinícius, R. Kluivert, T. Morton, C. Tolisso, M. d. Carvalho, P. Šulc, K. Boudache, E. Nuamah

- **Nice**: Y. Diouf, X. Mandza, Y. Ndayishimiye, M. Abdelmonem, H. Koutoune, E. Pereira, D. Coulibaly, H. Boudaoui, S. Diop, E. Wahi, N. Ngoumou

Prediction:

**Lyon 2–0 Nice**. Lyon's edge at home plus Nice's away fragility points to a comfortable win for the hosts. 👊
