Nice vs Lyon
The closing match of the French Cup round of 16 will present a match between Nice who acted as host host Lyon at the Allianz Riviera. A very interesting and certainly prestigious match, the article in this round does not apply Home & Away so both teams will definitely play it out to get the top 8.
Both the host and their visitors have played very well lately, Nice are unbeaten in the last 7 games in a row with 4 wins and 3 draws in all competitions. While their Lyon stronghold hasn’t been beaten in the last 8 matches, the difference is Lyon is far more fantastic picking 7 wins and 1 draw. Only Stade Reims can withstand M. Dembele et al at the end of 2019, but after that a series of positive results continue to be achieved.
In addition, interestingly Nice, who stopped in the last 32 last season, could replace the failure to the last 16, considering that at the time H. Boudaoui and colleagues lost 4-1. While Lyon failed to advance to the finalists after falling 2-3 when dealing with Rennes and surprisingly Rennes came out as champions after defeating Lyon rivals Paris Saint Germain.
Lyon ambitious to return to being a semi-finalist, against Nice is indeed not easy considering the second round of France Ligue 1 last season they narrowly lost 1-0. But Lyon can be countered in this first round with a 2-1 win. The standings put Nice in 12th place while Lyon finished 5th, even though they are only 3 points adrift. Very interesting but back again Lyon are more fantastic than the host for recent performance, seeing their differences the possibility of Lyon can win narrowly and qualify for the round of eight.
