11th November 2022 – 21:00, Parc Olympique Lyonnais, Lyon
Lyon and Nice will open the Ligue 1 15th round action on Friday evening. Neither team has met expectations so far in the campaign, and they will search for improvement in this match.
Lyon Preview & Team News
Lyon will want a better result here after a 1-0 Ligue 1 loss in their previous game against Marseille. They couldn’t celebrate for the third time in a row and stayed in 8th place. It’s been a rare occasion in recent games that Lyon has shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Lyon has been scored against in 5 of their previous six clashes, shipping seven goals on the way. Although L’OL has been pretty productive in the front, they need to be more disciplined in the backline. There’s just a single fitness concern for the Lyon manager Laurent Blanc to be concerned about, thanks to an almost full-strength group. Julian Pollersbeck (Knee Surgery) is out of contention.
Nice Preview & Team News
Nice will come into the game following on from a 1-0 Ligue 1 win against Brest in their previous outing. It was the away side’s second straight win and the fifth match without losing. After a poor start to the campaign, Nice managed to climb to the 9th spot, being just a point behind its next opponent. In their previous half-dozen outings, Nice has bagged a total of 9 goals. Nice have also scored in every single one of those games. Over that period, their defenders have had six goals go into their own net. Coming into this contest, Nice hasn’t been defeated in their previous two away league matches. The visitors have a tough challenge ahead, but they will try to keep their positive run going.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Nice has had a better momentum recently, and we wouldn’t be surprised if they continue their unbeatable run. Therefore, this game could end in a draw.
Goals Market Prediction
Lyon’s defense has been pretty porous so far in the season, while the hosts are doing a good job in the final third. That’s why we believe neither team will keep a clean sheet in this encounter.
