Nice has recorded just one win in league play across their last 11 matches, and now they'll take on an in-form Lyon side that has won six straight Ligue 1 fixtures. Lyon has conceded only 20 goals this season, the third-fewest in the league. Lyon has recorded a clean sheet in three of their last four league games at home, a big reason why I'm backing the home side to collect all three points.

Nice, despite its tough season, might be catching a break in Ligue Un as Auxerre, Nantes, and Metz have struggled so badly this season that those three have separated from the rest of the league and look destined to go down. So, no real immediate relegation worries for Nice. That's the good news. The bad news is running into a red-hot Lyon that has moved up to third in the table on the heels of six straight wins. The addition of livewire Brazilian Endrick on loan from Real Madrid has provided a boost, though defensive work has also excelled, and Sloakian GK Dominik Greif is off a pair of clean sheets in February and 1-0 wins over Lilles and Nantes.
