Lyon will invite Nice to Parc Olympique Lyonnais in Ligue 1 on Sunday. Les Gones have won 13 of their 21 league games and have a 19-point lead over the 14th-placed visitors.
The hosts met Nantes in their previous league outing and secured a 1-0 away win, thanks to Pavel Šulc’s first-half strike. They extended their winning streak in all competitions to 12 games while keeping a third consecutive clean sheet.
Thanks for the submission!
Le Gym faced local rivals Monaco last week and were held to a goalless draw, extending their unbeaten run to three games. They failed to score for the first time in the league in 2026 and will look to improve upon that record.

Ernest Nuamah is a long-term absentee, while Malick Fofana, Afonso Moreira, Ruben Kluivert, Nicolas Tagliafico, and Orel Mangala are also sidelined at the moment. Endrick is suspended, but Corentin Tolisso and Roman Yaremchuk are in contention to start.
Le Gym are unbeaten in their last three league games, though two games have ended in draws. Notably, they have registered just one win in Ligue 1 since November.
Mohamed Abdelmonem, Moïse Bombito, and Youssouf Ndayishimiye are confirmed absentees, while Melvin Bard is also expected to miss this match. Hicham Boudaoui, Morgan Sanson, and Antoine Mendy are major doubts.
