The read
The deskLyon are unbeaten in four of their last five at home while Nice arrive having won nothing away in five and missing four first-team regulars, including Abergel's long-term knee injury. That gap in form and team news points toward a home-dominated game with goals likely at both ends, not a trap for backing the away side.
