Monaco takes water in Lens, Lyon held back by Brest

Nice has finally returned to success

On paper, OL are favorites against OGC Nice.

But the three points are not yet acquired for the semi-finalist of the last Champions League.

The Nice have certainly been in a negative dynamic for many weeks (poor results in Ligue 1 and Europa League, eviction of Patrick Vieira), but they have just returned to victory on Wednesday on the lawn of Nîmes (0-2), more a month and a half after beating Angers (0-3).

A success obtained at the end of the game despite a numerical inferiority, following the exclusion of Morgan Schneiderlin, who could totally revive the Aiglons.

"It was not easy, our group was small, but these young people showed a lot of character and fulfilled their mission," said Adrian Ursea, the Nice coach, who hopes to obtain a good result against Lyon to show that he is able to stand on his own feet, as a head coach, after having occupied the role of assistant.

The task will be tough against a very fit Lyonnais who have not lost in Ligue 1 since September 15, against Montpellier (2-1).
