- OGC Nice gets a home-venue bump.

Tactical read
Tactical read
AI-generatedLyon come to the Côte d'Azur with a clear edge in pedigree and firepower — the model gives them a commanding lean. Nice will need to be ruthless on the break and compact when Lyon probe. Home advantage and fine margins mean the favourite is far from certain.
Key matchup
Lyon's attacking thrust against Nice's ability to stay organised and catch transitions.
Biggest factor
Lyon's superior experience and goal-creation threat — but Nice at home in a volatile contest keeps belief alive.
