Marseille vs Lyon Preview and Team News
Marseille Team News
Marseille and Lyon will clash again in a game that will be equally matched in all three departments: attack, midfield and defence. Marseille have the ability to build their attack from the back, and a lot of this will be seen in this game.
On the odd occasion, it has also been noted that Marseille have liked to play a brand of total-football, in which they try to give the ball to their target men as soon as possible.
At the moment, the home team are ranked in the second spot of the league table and they will be keen on challenging leaders Paris Saint-Germain for the title by the end of this campaign. Although PSG are ten points (47) ahead of Marseille (37) at the moment, this difference can soon be negated if the league goes down to the wire.
In this game, Marseille will be without Harit, Kondogbia, Moumbagna, Blanco and Carboni due to injuries.
Marseille predicted lineup vs Lyon: (4-3-3): Rulli; Brassier, Balerdi, Murillo; Merlin, Hobjerg, Rongier, Henrique; Greenwood, Maupay, Rabiot.
Lyon Team News
Lyon will count themselves fortunate in the sense that they only have one player – Malick Fofana – ruled out with an injury in this game.
L’OL will need their best team to come up trumps against their old rivals Marseille in this game, but with manager Pierre Sage just sacked, the visitors will need to make sure to keep all distractions away.
Lyon have a good defensive lineup, and although they are ranked four spots below Marseille in the table, in the sixth position with 30 points, they will harbour high hopes from this game.

They have conceded 23 goals this season, but against Marseille, one can expect their hybrid defensive method to come good. Indeed, they have kept two clean sheets in their last three matches. Former Arsenal striker Lacazette will also be expected to lead from the front in this match.
And the bigest news of the week is the appointment of Paulo Fonseca as Lyon’s head coach.
Lyon predicted lineup vs Marseille: (4-1-4-1): Perri; Kumbedi, Mata, Niakhate, Tagliafico; Matic; Tolisso, Veretout, Cherki, Mikautadze; Lacazette.
Bet hereMarseille vs Lyon Prediction
- Pick: Marseille to win or draw
- Odds: 1.334 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Marseille 2-2 Lyon
Marseille have a slight advantage over their opponents Lyon in this game, and we expect them to either win or draw this game. They are going through a good run of form, and have won or drawn four out of the last five matches they have played.
Marseille have also beaten and drawn against Lyon in 18 out of the 32 recorded meetings between these two teams, and along with their current form, they will be expected to do so this time around as well.
Marseille vs Lyon Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: 1.51 (22Bet)
Both these teams are very well-matched with each other, especially in attack, and hence, we expect them to get on the scoresheet. For Marseille, the charge will be led by their star attacking unit consisting of Mason Greenwood, Adrien Rabiot and Neal Maupay, whereas Lacazette will be the target man for Lyon.
Greenwood is also the top scorer of the Ligue 1 this season with 12 strikes, and will be expected to continue his good run of form in this match as well.
Marseille have scored in four out of their last five matches, while Lyon have done so in three out of their last five; this statistic points towards the possibility of both of them doing so in this match too. Overall, Marseille hold an edge as they have bagged nine goals in their last five matches.
