Olympique Lyon vs OGC Nice Analysis
Lyon Starting to find Its Football
Being in the bottom half of the Ligue 1 standings isn’t where Lyon wants to be. But suffering through a number of scoring droughts early in the season has made life difficult for Lyon now.

Lopes; Kumbedi, Mata, Caleta-Car, Tagliafico; Caqueret, Matic, Mangala; Nuamah, Lacazette, Cherki

Meanwhile, Lyon is desperate to get a win. While this match won’t be easy for either side to keep in control, back Lyon to score a winner in what could be a wild match between two sides that would like to add a few more points to their columns.
