Lyon vs Marseille Prediction

Lyon Form

Lyon look back on their last three matches with six points to show for their efforts. Against Nantes, they were left empty-handed in a 1-0 defeat, but they avenged themselves by beating Rennes in a 3-1 win. They followed that up with a 1-2 win against Toulouse in their most recent outing. Lyon only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent Ligue 1 matches on home soil. Of the remaining four matches, they drew three and lost one, as they scored seven and conceded five goals.

They followed that up by sharing the spoils with Lorient in a 0-0 draw, before taking out Troyes in a 3-1 win. Marseille picked up five wins from a possible six on their recent travels in the Ligue 1, while scoring ten and conceding three goals. They also drew once but remained without defeat.

Marseille and Lyon seem to find it tough getting their defensively lines in order, as they both concede too many goals. We hope the trend continues this coming Sunday, as we aim for both teams to score.
