Lyon and Nice meet often enough to be considered a familiar pairing, and in the last six meetings Lyon won as many as four with fairly clear scorelines such as 2-0, 4-1 or 2-0 again. This time, though, Nice arrive in different form, having won their last two matches in a row. Lyon are still in 4th place and have just thrashed a league opponent 4-0 at home before losing 1-2 at home to a stronger opponent in the next match. Nice, despite losing two matches before coming back to win 2-1 in two consecutive games, still do not look very threatening in attack compared with Lyon, who have scored more in their last five matches. If Lyon score first from their high-pressing attack, Nice will have to open up and trade chances, and that is when both sides have more space to shoot than usual. The game is likely to finish with several goals.
