Lyon is not cured. Totally lost during this first part of the season, the Gones lived a nightmare going up to 8 consecutive meetings without winning in Ligue 1, which resulted in the departure of coach inducted this summer Sylvinho. Since the arrival of Rudi Garcia to replace him, the Lyonnais had a face a little more conquering, even up to win 3 wins against Metz (2-0) and Toulouse (2-3) in the league and Benfica (2-1) in the Champions League. However, just before the international break, the Rhodanians lost to the Velodrome at Olympico (2-1) and dropped to 14th place. By cons, they are only 6 units behind the second place occupied by OM.
Just like his opponent of the day, Nice does not realize a very convincing start to the season, far from it. If they are better ranked than their opponent of the day, the Aiglons are only one point ahead of them and do not show any guarantees, especially in the game. After winning only one match in 8 games and chained 3 defeats of rank against Paris (1-4), Strasbourg (1-0) and Le Mans in Coupe de la Ligue (3-2), the Azureens have taken a little confidence in winning against Reims (2-0) then defeating Bordeaux (1-1) in the final match.
