A total of nine rounds of games have gone by and both Nice and Olympique Lyonnais are doing great. Let's start!
- Nice have the fewest conceded goals (5) in Ligue 1
- Olympique Lyonnais have the fewest scored goals (3) away in Ligue 1
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Europa League. That game was also an away game, at Sparta Praha. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Nice form and stats
Overall Ligue 1 stats at home this season for Nice, who have the fewest conceded goals (5) in Ligue 1, are 2-2-0 (wins-draws-losses).
In their previous game, the manager C. Galtier led his Nice to a defeat in the Ligue 1 match away at Troyes. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Allianz Riviera. Youcef Atal, defender, was given a rating of 7.65/10 in that game, top of the team. Atal hit one key pass and won 8 of 11 duels.
Previous to that game, a home match hosting Brest in a game that was won 2-1.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Nice have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found seven matches with the results: Won three, drawn one and lost three.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Nice as they have a new game in only three days, a Ligue 1 match thankfully also at home. Olympique Marseille are visiting.

Olympique Lyonnais form and stats
1 win, 1 draw and 2 losses. That’s the product of Olympique Lyonnais, who have the fewest scored goals (3) away in Ligue 1, playing as the away team in the Ligue 1 this season.
Two travels in a row for Olympique, whose manager P. Bosz could celebrate last time after the Europa League win against Sparta Praha. An amazing comeback from Olympique last time out, trailing 0-2 before rallying an inspired fight which eventually led to Karl Toko Ekambi scoring the winning goal in the 88th minute. As you can tell from the result, the match against Sparta Praha was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today? Bruno Guimarães got a match rating of 8.1 in that game, top player of the team. Guimarães served one assist, hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times and had 67 successful passes (of 77 total).
