Lyon are placed eight, with 20 points from 14 games, while Nice are a point and a place below with 19 points from the same amount of matches.
Lyon will be keen to bounce back from their latest setback when they welcome Nice in Ligue 1. After being blanked by Marseille in their last match, Lyon will be eager to respond in front of their home supporters on Friday night. While their inconsistent start to life under Laurent Blanc continues, they will be up against a Nice side that is starting to find its top form. Lucien Favre has helped them get on a decent run of form in the last few games, which they will hope to continue in their upcoming matches.
