Nice

Without a midweek fixture, Nice areexpected to field a strong lineup against Lyon.
However, they will be without two key players. Terem Moffi, recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament injury sustained during pre-season, is not yet match-ready but has returned to full training.
Meanwhile, Morgan Sanson, who has been sidelined with an ankle injury since the start of the season, is nearing full fitness and could be available for selection. Despite these setbacks, Nice will look to put up a solid performance as they prepare for the challenge ahead.
Lyon

Following last week's violent incident towards referee Paulo Fonseca, Lyon's head coach has been handed a nine-month suspension from the sidelines.
Without their main coach, Lyon may approach the game differently, as they find themselves in a challenging situation.
Nicolás Tagliafico, who has served his suspension, will return to the starting lineup, taking his place at left-back.
With no injuries or fatigue concerns, the team will be fresh and eager to deliver a strong performance on matchday.
