In-form Lyon will look to close in on the top two when they host struggling Nice next in Ligue 1. Starting the weekend, Lyon are third in the standings, 11 places ahead of their visitors. Let’s have a look at the match prediction.
Lyon are on fire, by far the best-performing side in Ligue 1 in 2026. Taking on a side in not-so-inspiring form places them as clear favorites. Here they are gunning for a 13th straight win across all competitions.
Lately they’ve also been improving defensively, and here they come with three straight clean sheets. The latest of them was in the 1-0 win at Nantes. At home they are on eight straight wins, with five clean sheets.
Nice have had some positivity in their recent matches and will come here hoping to end Lyon’s impressive run. They did win the reverse meeting 3-2 to end a streak of three straight losses to Lyon and will want lightning to strike twice.
Les Aiglons are unbeaten in their last three matches, with one win, and have only lost once in six matches. Their away form is, however, too shaky to imagine they can have a go at Lyon.
In their last nine games on the road, Nice won once, drew once, and lost the remaining seven matches.

Our Lyon vs Nice Prediction
Lyon didn’t start this season as strong as they are at the moment, and in the process, they lost to Nice. Here they are on a mission to not just avenge the loss but also move closer to a return to the Champions League.
Having beaten Nice in the three matches before their latest meeting, and coupled with their current form, Lyon will be confident of bagging three points here. Nice are struggling on the road, having won just once in their last nine. In that run, our prediction for Lyon v Nice is that Lyon wins.
