Lyon vs Nice Prediction, October 18, 2026: Can Fonseca’s Rotation Avoid a Nice Trap at the Groupama? 🏆
Lyon vs Nice Prediction: Match Preview
Lyon welcome Nice to the Groupama Stadium on Sunday evening for a Ligue 1 fixture that pits a side desperate to avoid consecutive league defeats against one quietly rebuilding its season. Paulo Fonseca’s Lyon fell 2-1 at Lens before the international break, their first Ligue 1 loss of the campaign, but responded with a gritty 3-2 Europa League victory over Crystal Palace on Thursday. Nice, meanwhile, arrive in Lyon on a two-match winning run, having climbed from the relegation zone to ninth with victories over Lille and Strasbourg. The historical record at the Groupama is emphatic: Lyon have won their last three home matches against Nice and are unbeaten in five.
