Lyon take on the visitors Nice in the round 15 match of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Friday, November 11th at Parc Olympique Lyonnais (Lyon).
Lyon have been playing under Laurent Blanc for the last month. The Weavers have long been waiting for progress from the work of Peter Boss. The Dutchman was even forgiven for the frank failures of last season, with an 8th final place in Ligue 1 and failures in other tournaments. But even after a good summer (what the return of Lacazette and Tolisso is worth!) nothing really worked out. As a result, the coach was fired in early October, returning Laurent Blanc to active work. He has not shown himself in European football since 2016. Not immediately, but the “President” began to give results: “Olympic” beat Montpellier and Lille in a row. But in Marseille in the last round, on November 6, the team of the same name won. Moreover, there was marked by the only goal of Zhigot.

Nice fails to realize considerable ambitions. The Eagles were at their peak not so long ago, making their way to the Champions League. The current owners have funds, and a year ago Galtier was lured to the coaching post, who sensationally made Lille the national champion. But that mentor brought only 5th place and appearance to the cup final, but they lost there too. Christophe, however, went on a new promotion, heading PSG. And Lucien Favre returned to the Allianz Riviera - it was he who brought the bronze to the team. The Swiss with his old-new wards won a group in the Conference League. But there was a weak start in the domestic arena: only 2 wins in the first 9 rounds. Only in October it turned out to start an unbeaten streak. Last Sunday, after winning 1-0 against Brest thanks to Laborde's goal, they managed to bring it to 5 matches in the French Ligue 1.
In recent years, the teams alternately beat each other. So, last season, Nice won 3-2 at home, after which they lost 0-2 in Lyon. Lyon will be the favorite at home, but it is worth noting the good form of Nice. We bet on visitors with a handicap "+1 goal".
Prediction for the match: Nice to win with +1.0 handicap.
