Lyon to pick up all three points in Nice
Nice have struggled this season. They lost Christophe Galtier to PSG in the summer and made a slow start under Lucien Favre.
Nice now find themselves in 9th place and they are facing a backlash from supporters who were hopeful when the club was taken over by INEOS in 2019.
Current boss Didier Digard went unbeaten in his first 14 matches. Things have changed in recent months and the team have just three wins in their last 10 matches. That affects the Nice vs Lyon predictions.
Lyon also replaced their manager during the season. Laurent Blanc was brought in to try and salvage something and there have been improvements on the pitch since the former PSG boss took the job.
Blanc’s team have won six of their last eight matches coming into this one. They are the favourites in the Nice vs Lyon odds for good reason. We can get 177/100 for them to win on Saturday night.

Lacazette to make a final push for the golden boot
Alexandre Lacazette has been the focal point of the Lyon attack this season. He has found the net 27 times in 34 league matches from an xG of just 23.3. His clinical finishing means he still has the opportunity to beat Kylian Mbappe to the league’s golden boot.
Lacazette hasn’t had the luxury of playing in a side as creative as PSG. Lyon’s xG is 15 below the champions. However, this hasn’t hindered the striker, who has scored 21 league goals from open play.
Lacazette has been one of the stronger goalscoring picks in the Ligue 1 tips this season.
The former Arsenal striker has been scintillating in recent weeks. He has scored eight goals in 10 matches since Lyon were eliminated from the Coupe de France. The 2-1 win over Strasbourg was the only match in which he failed to score over that period.
