Olympique de Marseille vs Olympique Lyonnais Prediction 6 November 2022

The classic derby between Marseille and Lyon will draw the line under the Ligue 1 matchday 14.

Reigning French vice-champions Marseille are on a serious losing streak, as evidenced by their recent misfires against Ajaccio (1-2), PSG (0-1), Lens (0-1) and Strasbourg (2-2). It’s not surprising that at such a pace, the Provencals fell to fifth place, having 24 points in their asset with a goal difference of 22-11.

At this stage of the season, Lyon are also not particularly impressive. After the clashes with Lens (0-1), Toulouse (1-1), Rennes (2-3), Montpellier (2-1) and Lille (1-0), Les Gones are eighth with 20 points and accurate shots statistics 22-16. We would like to note that there is a positive trend in their game, connected with the change of the head coach.

Both teams are strong in attacking actions, but not the best defensive play prevents them from being higher in the standings. We think that Marseille and Lyon will effectively use their strengths in the head-to-head match and exchange effective shots.
