Ligue 1
Recent head-to-head history between these sides suggests competitive fixtures with goals. In their last five meetings, Lyon have won three, Nice have won one, and there has also been a draw.
Their latest meeting in October 2025 saw Nice edge a 3-2 victory at the Allianz Riviera, with Sofiane Diop among the scorers and Pavel Šulc netting twice for Lyon.
Lyon team overview
Lyon enter this fixture in strong league form, boasting an excellent home record of eight wins and just one defeat from ten Ligue 1 matches at the Groupama Stadium. Their recent run of six successive league victories has propelled them into the automatic Champions League qualification places, provided they maintain a top-three finish. Lyon’s home form has been particularly impressive in recent weeks, with four consecutive wins at the Groupama Stadium since the end of November, accompanied by three clean sheets.
Key attacking contributors include Pavel Šulc, Lyon’s top scorer with 10 league goals, while Corentin Tolisso has also been involved in the goal tally. Additionally, Afonso Moreira leads the assist charts for the club.
A significant squad issue: Endrick will miss this match through suspension, having picked up a one-match ban after his red card was downgraded to a second yellow by the LFP. Lyon have had few defensive injury headaches but will miss the Brazilian’s attacking impact (3 goals in Ligue 1 this season).

Nice team overview
Nice have struggled for consistency in 2025/26. Their overall record shows nearly as many defeats as wins and draws combined, leaving them closer to the relegation zone than the top six, which would secure European qualification for next season. The last couple of months have been particularly difficult, with just one win in 11 league outings and a worrying seven defeats in that period. However, heading into the trip to Lyon, Claude Puel’s men have shown signs of resurgence, putting together a three-match unbeaten run that includes back-to-back draws against Brest and Monaco.
Nice’s away form has been poor: in 10 away Ligue 1 matches they have won only twice, drawn once and lost seven times, with zero clean sheets and conceded 24 away goals (an average of 2.4 per game). Defensive frailties could again be tested here by Lyon’s expansive front line.
Leading attacking figures include Sofiane Diop and Jonathan Clauss, who have been central to creating chances and contributing assists.
