Nice

Nice has demonstrated a degree of stability in their recent outings, albeit with a few hiccups.

A significant confidence booster was their 3-1 victory over Lyon at home on 3rd June. Other recent results include a narrow 3-2 victory against Montpellier on the road on 27th May and a goalless draw against Toulouse at home on 21st May.

Lyon

Lyon has been facing a series of challenges in their recent fixtures. They endured a 1-4 defeat at home against Montpellier on 19th August and a 1-2 setback against Strasbourg on the road on 13th August. A 0-1 defeat in a friendly against Manchester United on 19th July adds to their string of disappointing results. However, victories against Reims (3-0) at home on 27th May and Monaco (3-1) at home on 19th May indicate that they have the capacity to rebound.
