On March 18 2018 at 20:00 at the Stade Velodrome in Marseille in the forthcoming match of the 30th game week of the French Ligue 1 the local Olympique will play against their guests Olympique Lyonnais.
After three losses in a row at the end of February and the draw against Nantes at the beginning of March Marseille won three times with 7:3 goal difference. During the last seven days Olympique won twice against Toulouse 2:1 in the national championship and against Athletic 2:1 in the Europa League.

They have already played 14 home matches and gained 31 points in them as they haven’t lost at home for 18 matches in a row since September 14th last year.
As for Lyon, they had a very controversial week as they outplayed Caen 1:0 in the national championship and lost to CSKA 2:3 in the Europa League which made them leave that Euro Cup. In the Ligue 1 they have 54 points with 59:34 goal difference and take the 4th position in the standings. In their 15 away matches Lyon gained 28 points with 34 goals scored and 18 goals missed. We must actually admit that in the latest four away games of the national championship Lyon didn’t manage to win and only gained 2 points.
Marseille haven’t lost to Lyon at home for five matches as they won once and drew four times. Considering the series of the hosts they have now we really think that they will manage to gain points this time. It seems to us that Marseille are going to avoid a loss in the forthcoming match.
