Nice will put their six match unbeaten run in Ligue 1 to a test on Sunday night when they play host to Olympique Lyon.
The year 2025 has been largely successful for Nice, especially in the French top flight. Franck Haise's side have failed to win just two of their nine games since the turn of the year and come into Sunday's game on the back of four consecutive victories. Les Aiglons also scored at least two goals in each of their last four games, a run that has seen them climb to third place, just three points behind second placed Marseille.
Lyon, meanwhile, had a disappointing start to the new year, failing to win four of their first five games in 2025. They have improved considerably in recent times, winning three of their last four league games and also picked up a crucial win over FCSB in the Europa League round of 16 in midweek.
Nice vs Lyon Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
Both sides are enjoying a great spell offensively at the moment, with Nice scoring in each of their last 18 Ligue 1 games, including 2+ goals in each of the last three, while the visitors scored at least one goal in each of their last eight games across all competitions.
Lyon's last few games have been headline-grabbing, mainly because of the amount of goals scored. Les Aiglons scored at least twice in each of their last six games, and all but one of those games ended with four or more goals.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- Nice vs Lyon prediction: 2-2

Lyon team news
Nicolas Tagliafico is available for selection after missing the 2-1 win over Brest last weekend for accumulation of bookings.
Abner Vinicius has missed Lyon’s last three games due to an injury and the trip to the Allianz Riviera this weekend will come too soon for the defender.
