Marseille vs Lyon Prediction

Marseille are currently ninth in the league and have won one of their last five league games. They have endured a poor campaign so far, and manager Gennaro Gattuso has his work cut out. Marcelino only lasted seven games as manager this season, and Gattuso has been brought in to provide some stability.

They have won only four of their 13 league games so far, and let go of players like Alexis Sanchez and Matteo Guendouzi in the summer. Fans are not very happy with the happenings at the club either.

Lyon, on the other hand, are in an abysmal state. They lie at the bottom of the league table, having won only one league game so far this season. They are six points behind 15th-placed Strasbourg, and recently sacked manager Fabio Grosso. One of France's most iconic and successful football clubs, Lyon need to find some way to recover form and get some points on the board.

A close game is on the cards, with both clubs struggling with their respective issues. A draw seems likely.

Prediction: Marseille 1-1 Lyon
