Lyon vs Marseille Prediction & Betting Tips (22 September)

Struggling Lyon have found the going pretty tough on their own patch of late, winning only four times in 18 attempts in the Ligue 1, not to mention suffering some defeats in their previous ten games. Marseille have endured few such difficulties on the road, enjoying eight successes over the course of their last 13 away matches at this level.

When Marseille come calling in the Ligue 1, under 3.5 goals tends to follow, with this being the case in 15 of the most recent 19 away matches played by the Marseille outfit. Not only that, but 13 of the last 15 home games played by Lyon at this level have also produced no more than three successful strikes, so it is hard to see this pattern changing.

Lyon have played four matches since securing their place in the Ligue 1, with no fewer than three of these encounters producing a clean sheet at one end of the pitch. This has also been the case in seven of the previous nine top-flight fixtures involving Marseille, so any deviation from this script would come as a bit of a surprise.
