Lyon and Nice meet in this French Ligue 1 encounter at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais. The home team are in 8th position with 34 points while the away team are in 3rd position with 42 points. Both teams have played 23 matches. Lyon were on a seven match unbeaten run but that run was ended when they lost 2-0 to Monaco in their last match. They have only lost once in their last 18 home matches across all competitions. Lyon are in eight place but will still harbor hopes of a European place as they are just three points behind fifth placed Rennes. Lyon have lost their last two league matches against Nice and could lose three in a row against them for the first time since 1959. They have lost two of their last three home matches against Nice. The same number they lost in their previous 30 home matches against them.

Nice lost their last league match 1-0 at home to Clermont. This loss was sandwiched between two excellent Cup wins where they beat PSG and Marseille. The Clermont loss is their only defeat in their last nine matches across all competitions. They are a massive 14 points behind runaway leaders PSG but only a point separates them from second placed Marseille. Nice know their most realistic hope is to finish second and claim the Champions League place. They have an excellent away record and are unbeaten in their last eight matches with seven wins and a draw. Nice have not had consecutive defeats in the league since February 2021.
