Team News

Lyon
Nice
  • Alexandre Lacazette became Lyon's joint-top European goalscorer with Juninho in the week, and should continue in Ligue 1 this weekend.
  • Rayan Cherki has proved decisive since his return to the side.
  • Franck Haise's side have been hit with an injury crisis, as seven of the usual starting XI are injured or are injury doubts.
  • Cho remains a doubt along with Hichem Boudaoui, while Morgan Sanson is nearing a return.
  • Confirmed long-term absentees include Terem Moffi and Gaetan Laborde for this match.

Prediction

  • Both Lyon and Nice were involved in European action this week, with vastly differing results.
  • Les Aiglons were licking their wounds after a 4-1 drubbing at the hands of Rangers on Thursday night, while Lyon edged closer to qualification with a 4-1 win over Qarabag.
  • Franck Haise's side now travel to the Rhône-based club, who only sit a point behind Nice in the table.
  • It will be tight game, and potentially decisive for both clubs' European ambitions by the end of the season.
