Lyon vs Marseille Prediction & Tips
Lyon heads into Choc des Olympiques #127 as the highest-ranked team in the table, thanks to its start to the season with two consecutive victories. After a comfortable 3-0 win over Metz last weekend, Les Gones have yet to concede a goal this season, and after star player Malick Fofana confirmed his desire to stay at Lyon this season, the situation looks brighter following their off-field problems over the summer. Maintaining their good form at home is also a real possibility, given that Lyon have won six of their last seven Ligue 1 games at home (D1).
After losing to Rennes on the opening day, Marseille bounced back emphatically with a 5-2 win over Paris FC last weekend. That victory came despite the dressing room row that had previously dominated the headlines. With that story still reverberating, manager Roberto De Zerbi has his work cut out to keep the focus on football. Playing away from home is unlikely to generate positive headlines for the club, which has lost six of its last nine league games on hostile territory (W2, D1).
