Nice Set to Break Through at Lyon

Lyon sit fourth after three wins and one draw in their last five league games while Nice sit tenth with two wins in the same stretch. Lyon have kept three clean sheets in six matches overall but concede 0.7 goals a game at home this season. Nice average just 0.8 goals a game but have scored in three of their last five outings and face a Lyon side missing three defenders through injury. In the last ten head-to-head meetings Nice have won three times and drawn twice. Lyon score 2.7 goals a game at home yet Nice have still managed to find the net in most recent trips here. The visitors need to score at least once to avoid another blank away from home.
