Lyon takes on Nice in the round 15 match for French Ligue 1. The match will take place at Parc Olympique Lyonnais in Lyon (Lyon) on Friday, November 11.
Lyon has been playing under Laurent Blanc over the past month. Peter Boss’s work has been a long time in the making of progress for the Weavers. Even the Dutchman was forgiven for his frank mistakes last season. He finished 8th in Ligue 1 and failed in other tournaments. Even after a successful summer, (what the return Lacazette & Tolisso are worth!) Nothing worked out. The coach was fired by Laurent Blanc in October. Since 2016, he has not been active in European football. The “President” started to show results, not immediately. “Olympic” beat Lille and Montpellier in a row. In Marseille, the team with the same name won the final round on November 6. Zhigot’s goal was the only goal.
Nice fails in its ambitions. The Eagles reached the Champions League at their peak in a very short time. They have the funds and Galtier, the current owner, was lured to become the coach. He made Lille the national champion. However, that mentor only brought 5th place and an appearance in the cup final. They also lost there. Christophe was promoted to head PSG. Lucien Favre, who was the one who brought the bronze medal to the Allianz Riviera, returned to PSG. The group won by the Conference League was won by the Swiss, along with his new wards. The domestic arena was not as successful with only two wins in the 9 first rounds. It was only in October that it started an unbeaten streak. Laborde’s goal helped them win 1-0 against Brest. This allowed them to reach 5 matches in French Ligue 1.
The teams have been beating each other in recent years. Last season, Nice won 3-2 at their home and lost 0-2 to Lyon. Lyon will be favourite at home but it is worth noting Nice’s good form. We wager on visitors with handicap “+1 goal”.
Prediction: Nice to win with +1.0 handicap
