Lyon vs Nice Preview
Lyon will be eager to respond to their 2-1 defeat against Lens as they take on Nice in round 7, hoping to maintain their strong home form. Les Gones have looked particularly dangerous at the Groupama Stadium, thrashing Auxerre and Rennes in their previous two home outings. Lois Openda’s injury is a significant blow, potentially opening the door for Keito Nakamura to step up, but Lyon still possess plenty of attacking quality. Paulo Fonseca's men have averaged 2.40 goals per home game, giving them good reason to approach this fixture with confidence.
Nice arrive in high spirits after recording consecutive victories over Lille and Strasbourg. Les Aiglons have regained some momentum, although Djibril Coulibaly’s injury could force a change, with Hicham Boudaoui expected to step in. Their away form remains a concern, however, as Nice have struggled to produce goals on the road. Anyhow, away win should not be considered as over the years Lyon have turned their stadium into a real fortress.
Given Lyon’s home advantage and stronger attacking numbers, we believe that there is big value in betting on Home Win, alongside Under 3.5 goals, and Over 3.5 yellow cards (derby game).
This Ligue 1 match will be played on Sunday, 18 October 2026 at 19:45.
