Odds: 1/2 @ 888sport

Looking to spring a Ligue 1 upset on the road this weekend, Nice will make the trip to Lyon on Friday night in what could be a cagey affair.

Starting with the hosts, making a return to losing ways last weekend, Lyon have the feel of a side seeking some recent stability. In their 14 Ligue 1 matchups so far this season, they have recorded six wins, two draws and six defeats, scoring 22 and conceding 17 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 20, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat eighth in the standings and seven points adrift of finding a route into the European places. As for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a 1-0 loss away at Marseille, Lyon have managed to win just a pair of their previous nine Ligue 1 contests. Likewise, it should also be highlighted, Friday’s hosts have seen seven of their previous eight top-flight fixtures finish with under 3.5 goals.

As for the visitors, continuing on what has been an eye-catching run of form over recent weeks, Nice could be smelling the chance to spring an upset here. In their 14 Ligue 1 matchups so far this season, they have recorded five wins, four draws and five defeats, scoring 14 and conceding 16 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 19, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat ninth in the table and just one-point adrift of Friday’s opponents. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 1-0 victory against Brest on home soil, Nice are unbeaten in each of their last six matchups across all formats. However, it should be noted, with Friday’s guest seeing six of their last seven contests finish with under 3.5 goals, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
