Heading into the final third of the season, Nice and Lyon sit at opposite ends of the table in the French top flight. With just three rounds to go, it's clear that one team will be heading home while the other is looking for a spot in Europe.
For Nice, this weekend's match against Lyon presents an opportunity to secure their place in Europe. The club has already qualified for the Europa League next season, but they need to win or draw on Saturday to guarantee themselves a place in the group stages. A victory over Lyon would also give them a significant advantage in the race for second place, which would allow them to qualify for the Champions League.
On the other hand, Lyon needs to keep up the pressure on Nice in order to avoid slipping further down the table. They have already secured their spot in the Europa League, so they don't have anything to play for in this game except pride. However, a loss could leave them with a difficult battle ahead of them if they're not careful.
Regardless of the outcome, both teams will be hoping to put in a strong performance as they look to secure their places in Europe. With only three games left to go, there's still plenty of football to be played, and neither side can afford to take anything lightly.
