Marseille will invite Lyon to the Stade Vélodrome in Ligue 1 on Sunday. The hosts have enjoyed a good run of form in Ligue 1 this season, where they are second with 37 points while Lyon are sixth with 30 points.

Marseille vs Lyon Prediction

Marseille saw their unbeaten streak in Ligue 1 end after seven games last week. They failed to score for the first time since October but are unbeaten in four Ligue 1 home games without keeping a clean sheet.

Valentin Carboni, Geoffrey Kondogbia, Amine Harit and Faris Moumbagna remain sidelined with injuries. Chancel Mbemba, Bamo Meite and Ismael Kone aren't in contention to start.

Lyon, meanwhile, have played four consecutive draws and have won just one of their last six Ligue 1 away games, scoring eight goals. They have failed to score in their last two away outings against Marseille.

Boss Paulo Fonseca will be without Malick Fofana due to a hip injury. Alexandre Lacazette and Nemanja Matic, who started from the bench against Ludogorets, could start.

Considering the recent form of both teams, a low-scoring draw could ensue.

Prediction: Marseille 1-1 Lyon
