Lyon take on the visitors Nice at “Parc Olympique Lyonnais” in the gameweek 38 of the French Ligue 1. The match will be played in Lyon on Saturday, May 19th.
Before the start of the season Lyon had set high targets and managed to fulfil them. The club had been able to claim even for the goal medals, but extreme inconsistency ruined those chances. At the moment “Les Gones” fight for a pass to the UEFA Champions League, sitting now on the third place in the Ligue 1 standings and a draw in the upcoming tackle will allow the team to achieve the aim. The club’s attacking line demonstrates tremendously powerful football, Nabil Fekir is the side’s leader and creates many goal opportunities for his teammates resulted in 84 scored goals while its defense must be improved as it has conceded 41 goals already. Lyon have broken Troyes 3:0, Nantes 2:0 and Amiens 3:0 in the latest battles conducted at their own turf.

Meanwhile, Nice look much weaker in this season comparing to the previous one. Although the club’s roster allows it to compete for a place in the Eurocups, the side has been suffered a lot. “Le Gym” is sitting now on the sixth position in the elite division table with 54 points earned after 37 rounds behind, still keeping chances to qualify to the UEFA Europa League for the next season. “Les Aiglons” showed high effectiveness in attack, having scored 51 goals already unlike their defense which leaves much to be desired with 49 goals conceded. In the recent away clashes Nice have got two draws against Angers and Strasbourg with the same 1:1 scoreline as well as 1:2 defeat from Marseille.
Lyon have simply destroyed Nice with 5:0 scoreline in the first-lap tackle of this season. At the moment both sides need a victory which means that both of them will be extremely motivated, however, “Les Gones” have a slight advantage over the forthcoming visitors as they produce astonishing performance in face of their supporters.
Prediction for the match: Lyon to win.
