Lyon vs Marseille Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | Ligue 1 2024-25

Les Phocéens have been terrific under Roberto de Zerbi.

Lyon’s season have started more slowly than expected. After winning just once in their first four games, the French team is presently ranked 13th in Ligue 1.

Lyon come on this game on the back of a draw against Lens. They will need to strengthen their defence before this match significantly. In their last seven games at the Groupama Stadium, Lyon have given up 15 goals.

This season, Marseille have emerged as one of the most notable teams in Ligue 1. When Roberto De Zerbi joined the French team after leaving Brighton, he immediately coaxed a tune out of his new players.

Mason Greenwood, an unpopular signing, has already shown he is a success in France, scoring five goals in four games this season.

Kick-off

Monday, 23 September at 12:15 a.m. IST.

Location: Parc Olympique Lyonnais

Form:

Lyon: D-W-L-L-L

Marseille: W-W-D-W-W

Players to watch

Lyon: Alexandre Lacazette

For the seasoned striker personally, Alexandre Lacazette‘s return to Olympique Lyonnais has been an absolute triumph. He has scored more than fifty goals for Les Gones since joining his childhood team in 2022 after leaving Arsenal. He assisted his team in reaching the Coupe de France final the previous season.

He has yet to score a goal so far this season. Against Marseille, he will have a great chance to finally break the duck.

Marseille: Mason Greenwood

It was unlikely that Greenwood would have such a spectacular debut in his new environment, particularly in light of the controversy surrounding the transfer. But since returning to play with a competitive side, he has shown once again how good a football player he is. Greenwood made his Ligue 1 debut on the first day of competition with a commanding performance, and since has been impressive.

Match facts

• Lyon have only one win in their last five games.
• Mason Greenwood has five goals in Marseille’s last four games.

Head-to-head

Matches: 48

Lyon: 20

Draws: 15

Marseille: 13

Predicted lineup

Lyon: 3-5-2

Perri; Mata, Caleta-Car, Niakhate; Maitland, Caquerat, Matic, Tolisso, Abner; Gift Orban, Lacazette

Marseille: 4-2-3-1

Rulli; Rongier, Balerdi, Brassier, Murillo; Jojbjerg, Kondogbia; Greenwood, Harit, Henrique; Maupay

Prediction

This season, Marseille have demonstrated its attacking ability in every game, scoring two goals or more on a regular basis. They have the offensive firepower to most likely carry on this trend against a Lyon defence that has occasionally appeared weak. It is anticipated that the visitors will score at least twice in this match.

Prediction: Lyon 0-3 Marseille.
