Lyon vs Nice match Preview

Lyon welcomes Nice in the fifteenth round of the French Ligue 1.

The hosts are coming off a 1-0 away defeat to Marseille, failing to claim their third straight win in a game that was quite cautious as new coach Laurent Blanc is accustomed to. In their last four games with the new coach, they have two wins and two losses while at home they are one of the best teams in the league having the best defense.

The guests, on the other hand, are in their best possible condition since in the last six games they played they won three and drew three. Away from home in seven games, they managed to win three times while losing just twice. In the standings, they are one point behind Lyon, but the offered odds tonight do not reflect this.

In conclusion, these two teams do not have big differences while the visitors are in very good form running an unbeaten streak for a long time. Away from home, they have collected more points than at home which means they are comfortable competing without the tag of favorites. The hosts are still volatile so I will stake 3 units on double chance X2 at 2.14 odds which I consider pretty high.
