This is important game in Ligue 1 in the battle for the Champions League places. Before the start of the 25th matchday, Nice is in 3rd position, while Lyon is in 6th place and there's just seven points between them. The guests are obviously looking for a win to move closer. The hosts have won four games in a row and has collected the most points after PSG in the second half of the season. The only defeat was against Lille but that was almost two months ago. The 2-0 win in the southern French derby against Marseille was followed by a 2-0 win against Lens and Montpellier, and a 3-1 win against Le Havre and St. Etienne. In between there was a 1-1 draw against Toulouse. In the Europa League, while Lyon easily advanced to the round of 16 in sixth place, Nice finished second to last without a win. However, given their current league form, they now have direct qualification for the Champions League. Lyon, among others, still has something to say about that. The former dominator of the French league followed up their 2-1 win against Brest in the Europa League with a strong 3-1 away win in the first leg against FCSB. That was their fourth win in five games. At home, Nice is still unbeaten in Ligue 1.
