Lyon are coming into this match without much momentum. They have lost three of their last five games, and while they did win their most recent match 4-0, that was a rare bright spot in a tough run. Marseille, on the other hand, have also struggled lately, losing three of their last five away games and only winning once. Both sides look a bit shaky, which could make for an open, unpredictable contest.

Looking at recent meetings between these two, goals have been common. The last three clashes all had three goals or more, including two 3-2 scorelines. With both teams having defensive issues and a history of high-scoring games, this could be a lively match with chances for both. However, given Marseille’s poor away form and Lyon’s slumps at home, a draw feels like the most likely outcome here.
