On Friday night, Lyon and Nimes clash at the Groupama Stadium, as the home side look to get back to winning ways in Ligue One.

Lyon heads into this clash on a run of three games without a victory in all competitions. Last time out OL suffered a 5-0 hammering at League One giants PSG.

The home side has now won just one two of their last six league outings, which has left them sixth-place, two points behind the top four in Ligue One.

Lyon’s recent outings in the French top-flight have been high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five matches.

OL have a strong recent home record in Ligue One, recording nine wins in their last 12 games in the French top-flight. Their recent home games in the league have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five outings.

Nimes made a good start to life in Ligue One winning their first two games of the season. However, the visitors have now failed to win in seven League One matches. Last time out in the French top-flight Nimes drew 0-0 with Reims.

The visitor’s recent games in the French top-flight have been relatively low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four outings.

Nimes have not recorded an away win in Ligue One since their first away game in League One back in August. In fact, the visitors have now failed to record a win in their last four league games on their travels, picking up two draws and suffering two defeats.

Nimes have scored just four goals in that winless away run, so will need to be more effective in front of goal to take anything from this game.

Forebet predicts that Lyon will get back to winning ways, recording a low-scoring victory.
