They took a two-goal lead into halftime thanks to goals from Bamba Dieng and Issa Kabore, but they gave up two goals in the final 15 minutes, including an equaliser in stoppage time. Marseille’s 2-1 home loss to Tottenham Hotspur in the middle of the week resulted in their elimination from the UEFA Champions League as well.
While this is happening, Lyon has improved, winning their previous two games. The 90th minute winner in their 2-1 victory against Montpellier last week came from Alexandre Lacazette. Lyon is eighteenth in the rankings, four points behind Marseille (24), who is fifth.
Marseille vs Lyon Prediction
In their past five games, Marseille has lost four times and is winless in all competitions. In two of their past four league contests, they have failed to score.
Additionally, Les Phoceens have failed to score in two of their past four home contests against Lyon, which is not encouraging for their chances of winning. Because Dimitri Payet has failed to have an effect this year, home supporters are hoping he performs better in this rivalry match.
Lyon, meanwhile, stopped their six-game league losing drought with back-to-back victories and are now in good shape. Recent encounters between the two teams’ southern rivals have seen the visitors dominate the proceedings; a narrow victory would be expected to make life miserable for Marseille.
Marseille will likely defeat Lyon 1-2.
