Prediction: 1-1
Nice
Lyon and Nice square off against each other at Stade Olympique Lyonnais in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Sunday’s program. Les Gones dropped two points in a 1-1 draw with Reims at the weekend and, no doubt, they are eager to return to winning ways as soon as possible. Talented Belgium forward Malick Fofana is pushing for a start, while midfielder Mahamadou Diawara continues to miss out with injury.
Les Aiglons, on the other hand, aim to build on a come-from-behind win over Strasbourg. Nice have a chance to climb to the Champions League berth, but seeing that Alexandre Lacazette and Co. are tough to beat at home, we are tempted to place our bets on draw. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in four of the previous five meetings between the two sides. The likes of Clauss, Abdi, Mendy, Abdelmonem, and Sanson are injured for the away team.
