This could be an interesting match as Nice have their presumed home advantage while Olympique Lyonnais are ahead 9 points in the Ligue 1 table.
- Nice have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Olympique Lyonnais is in the best form (5-1-0)
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Nice and Olympique Lyonnais.
Nice form and stats
With {2 Ligue 1 wins}, 1 draw and 4 defeats from their home games, Nice are certainly not brimming with confidence. Game days at Allianz Riviera have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Nice as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
Nice are returning here after visiting Nimes in a Ligue 1 game and winning with a 2-0 scoreline. Alexis Claude Maurice and Dan Ndoye scored the goal(s). Preceding that match was the home game against Rennes that was lost 0-1.
Nice made it very difficult for themselves, when Morgan Schneiderlin got a red card in the 57th minute. The match was still a draw at this point. But even with this card, Nice won the match 2-0!
The match schedule is unforgiving for Nice as they have a new game in only four days, a Ligue 1 match thankfully also at home. Lorient are visiting.
Nice has scored 7 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. Nice have conceded 12 from these games.
Olympique Lyonnais form and stats
4 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss. That’s the product of Olympique Lyonnais playing as the away team in the Ligue 1 this season. Things are running smoothly for Olympique who hasn't tasted defeat in their last twelve matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Montpellier. Having won their last three away games Olympique Lyonnais has no reason to fear anyone.
Olympique Lyonnais's last game was the home draw against Brest (2-2). Preceding that game was the away victory against PSG with the score of 1-0.
Olympique coach R. Garcia could be heard cursing the gods after the 2-2 draw against Brest, as the team hit the posts three times. The draw against Brest came from a losing position. The Olympique Lyonnais manager R. Garcia brought on Maxwel Cornet as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level.
After this away game Olympique return home for a Ligue 1 game against Nantes. That game is only four sleeps after this.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Olympique have scored 11 goals in 8 league games away. It's not easy to score on Olympique Lyonnais as they have only conceded 7 goals from these away games.
Head 2 Head
As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's four Nice victories, one draw and five Olympique Lyonnais wins. Over/under statistics; six of these games ended with three goals or more, four matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
