Team News

Lyon
Nice
  • Lyon will have Mattia De Sciglio back from suspension, but the Italian looks unlikely to play a role here.
  • Jason Denayer, fit again after missing a few matches earlier in the month, returned against Nîmes and should again partner Marcelo in defence.
  • Houssem Aouar impressed last weekend and could start again on the left flank.
  • Memphis Depay plays his final game for the club this weekend before leaving on a free.
  • Alexis Claude-Maurice will miss out here after being injured against Strasbourg.
  • With Pierre Lees-Melou back from suspension, look for him to take the former Lorient man's place in midfield.
  • Youcef Atal could also be deployed at right-back, with Rony Lopes or Dan Ndoye starting in attack.

Prediction

  • Lyon need three points here to have a hope of reaching the Champions League ahead of Monaco, whom they currently trail by a point; look for the hosts to leave little on the pitch as they seek to secure their spot in Europe's top competition.
  • Nice have delivered the odd decent performance as they stumble towards the end of the season, but given the 4-1 scoreline between these two in the reverse fixture and what's at stake for OL, it's hard to see past a comfortable home win.
