Lyon vs Marseille Predictions

• Both teams have scored in five of Marseille’s last six games.
• Both teams have scored in Lyon’s last three and they have scored in six successive games.
• Marseille have only managed one win in nine attempts away from home in Ligue 1.

Marseille test for improving Lyon

Lyon have finally started to show some fight after a woeful start to the season with five wins in their last six games but they remain in the drop zone in Ligue 1 ahead of a tough home game against Marseille.

L’OM sit in seventh spot after a run of three successive draws and their away form has been a concern all season. Marseille have only managed one win in nine attempts on their travels, but they’ve also only lost four games and all of those defeats have come at teams in the top eight.

Backing both teams to score could be the best way to approach this fixture as there have been goals at both ends in five of Marseille’s last six, while Lyon have scored in six consecutive games and have conceded in each of their last three.

Marseille’s last three games have all finished level after 90 minutes and another draw could be on the cards here against the improving Les Gones. A 2-2 draw has a chance as Lyon have scored seven goals across their last four games, while Marseille played out a 2-2 stalemate with Monaco last weekend and have scored at least twice in five of their last seven league outings.

Visiting striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was on target against Monaco last time out and he scored in the reverse fixture, so he looks the best option for an anytime scorer bet.
