Marseille vs Lyon Predictions

• Eight of Marseille’s last ten league outings have seen both teams score
• Both teams have netted in ten of Lyon’s last 14 outings
• Marseille have not kept a clean sheet in their last six top flight matches at home

Marseille hoping to end poor run

Marseille’s struggles to keep a clean sheet are holding them back in their attempts to continue a shock title challenge in Ligue 1.

They have now gone three games without a win in all competitions, including a pair of 1-1 draws against Lille (Coupe de France) and Strasbourg, show their struggles at the back.

In fact, Roberto de Zerbi’s side have now gone six games without a shut out in the league at home,  with the last five seeing both teams score, while both teams have also netted in eight of their last ten Ligue 1 fixtures.

Lyon needing a lift

That might provide some hope to visitors Lyon, who, after a five-match winless run, disposed of the services of manager Pierre Sage on Monday.

Five of those games have been draws, while four have seen both teams score, including their first match since a change of boss, a 1-1 UEFA Europa League stalemate against Ludogorets on Thursday.

In fact, nine of Lyon’s last 11 away matches across all competitions have seen both teams scores as well, which highlights their struggles at the back.

I predict that both teams will score in this game, with a 1-1 draw my correct score prediction.
