Nice vs Lyon Prediction & Betting Tips - Ligue 1
by Nella Wagah in Ligue 1 Predictions
Nice playing at home in Ligue 1 has always had a positive vibe for their fans, who are set for another treat. This Sunday, third-placed Nice welcomes sixth-placed Lyon to the Allianz Riviera. Below is our preview and prediction for the match.
Elimination from Europe and the French Cup have turned out to be disguised blessings for Nice. They’ve shifted focus to the league and are currently on four straight wins.
Les Aiglons are also firm challengers for the top two, currently trailing Marseille by three points. Home form will come as a major boost for Nice, who have six straight wins there in the league.
This season, Nice are unbeaten in Ligue 1 at home.
Lyon’s time in 2025 hasn’t been stable; they are coming into their 14th match of the year having managed just five wins. Their latest five matches have however had a rhythm, with Les Gones winning four.
The latest of them was away in Romania, where they beat FCSB 3-1 in a Europa League match. Back in Ligue 1 action the visitors will seek to build on the rise from behind to beat Brest 2-1 in the last match.
Things haven't been smooth on the road in Ligue 1 though. Lyon lost three of their last five away league matches and only beat struggling Montpellier in that period.

Our Nice vs Lyon Prediction
Lyon have been the dominant side in this fixture and have even beaten Nice this season. However, they come into this game with weaker numbers in recent matches. The visitors have lost three times in the last five away league matches.
Two of those defeats were against sides currently in the top three. Nice comes with the same caliber of threat and fatigue could be an issue for Lyon, who are coming from midweek action. Nice have also won their last four matches. Our prediction for Nice v Lyon is that Nice wins the match.
