Olympique Marseille vs Olympique Lyon Prediction: Will Lyon ever come back?

This used to be a tough clash down the years but at the moment it feels like one team will be coming away with an easy win. Olympique Marseille will welcome bottom side Olympique Lyon to the Orange Velodrome. Marseille lost their last league game against OGC Nice last weekend but they returned to winning ways in their midweek clash against AEK Athens. While Lyon have been heading down hill since the beginning of the season. They are yet to record a single win this season and they are now bottom of the Ligue 1 table.

Olympique Marseille

Olympique Marseille were a bit unlucky to concede a goal after Leonardo Balerdi was sent off in their game against OGC Nice. The match ended 1-0 at full time and now they are back searching for a win. They beat AEK Athens 3-1 in their UEFA Europa League game during midweek, so confidence is back and high for this clash.

Marseille have picked up 12 points from 3 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats this season and they are currently without a goal. This is far from the place they wish to be at the moment but there's a chance they might get things right when they face Lyon. Marseille have won 3 of their 4 home games, with the remaining 1 game ending in a draw. So, they should be able to beat Lyon at home as they have the records in their favor.

Streaks

• More than 2.5 goals in 6/7 games.
• First to score in 4/5 games.
• First to concede in 5/6 games.
• Less than 4.5 cards in 5/7 games.
• Less than 10.5 corners in 7/9 games.

Olympique Lyon

Olympique Lyon at the bottom of the table at this point in the season was not what anyone expected but it is what it is. Lyon were huge favorites to beat Clermont in their last game at home after pulling off a 3-3 draw against Lorient earlier. But they lost the game 2-1 and that automatically took them to the bottom of the table. In 9 games, Lyon have 0 wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats. That leaves them with just 3 points and a goal difference of -9.

Lyon coming up against Marseille only points towards one direction, and that is a defeat for Lyon unless they were to pull off a Miracle.

They lost 3 of their 4 away league games this season and drew only once. But in this fixture last season, they defeated Marseille 3-0 away from home.

Streaks

• No wins in 13 matches.
• Without a clean sheet in 4 matches.
• First to concede in 5/6 matches.
• Less than 4.5 cards in 5/7 matches.
• Less than 10.5 corners in 7/9 matches.

Analysis and Predictions

Everyone agrees that Marseille should come out on top in this game as both teams are far apart in terms of form and quality at the moment. Marseille are not such a great team as they have gotten poor results against top teams in the league this season and their wins came off average or poor teams. But at the moment they are better than Lyon unless Lyon were to wake up and fight for their lives. Lyon are expected to respond at some point but the question is when will that happen? It might be in this game or not. Either way we expect Marseille not to lose here.
