Lyon vs Marseille
France – Ligue 1
Date: Sunday, October 4, 2024
Starts at 20pm UK / 00pm CET
Location: Groupama Stadium.

In Sunday night's big game, two heavyweights of French football will lock themselves in when Lyon take on Marseille.

Lyon, like last season, did not start the campaign well. It reached this game in 11th place and in addition to winning in the first weekend of the season, it has no other victories, in fact, it has not won in the last 4 games.

They drew two games in a row in this game. Last weekend, they faced newly promoted Lorient, but only managed to reach a 1-1 score. In short, Lyon are finding that killer instinct to finish hard-to-find matches and lack consistency.

Marseille are in ninth place with 8 points and only two points ahead of Lyon, they have also drawn their last two games before this one and last weekend it would have looked like a disappointment and two points down after only drawing 1-1 with Metz. .

Marseille were lucky to have the last 3 consecutive games at home, so traveling will be a new sensation for the club. Despite the problems, Lyon would overtake Marseille with a win at the weekend.

Lyon vs Marseille: head-to-head

The last time the clubs played Lyon in the league, Lyon won 4-2.

The last match between the Lyon clubs was in the Coupe de France earlier this year, which Lyon won 1-0.

Marseille have not won an away game against Lyon since 2007.

Lyon vs Marseille: Prediction

Both clubs have already made a lot of mistakes and it's a shame as they haven't been able to capitalize on PSG's slow start. That opportunity is over now that PSG are back in form and have, in fact, already passed both teams in the league.

Lyon and Marseille have won numerous league titles before, but they won't do so this season either as they are still the pretenders and indeed this game is played for bragging rights. We will support Lyon as Marseille's record here is poor but we expect a very balanced game, however Lyon will certainly improve their game for this game and we may even see the true potential of the team.
