Lyon vs Marseille: Preview, Free tip & Prediction
20.11.2021 15:00
The schedule of the 14th round of Ligue 1 will close on Sunday evening with the prestigious Olympico, i.e. the clash between Lyon and Marseille. Neither team is in ideal form, so there will be important points to play for.
Basic information, news and team form
Even under the new manager Peter Bosz, Lyon have been plagued by the usual problem in recent seasons: inconsistency of results. Just when it looks like OL is finally getting going and a run of wins is on the cards, an unexpected setback comes. In October, for example, Les Gones failed to make it through the derby on the pitch of a struggling Saint-Étienne, where they lost the win in stoppage time, or the match at Nice, where they still led 2-0 with 10 minutes to go, only to lose 2:3. However, Lyon's worst result of the season so far came in their last game before the national break: they were absolutely thrashed at Rennes and deservedly lost 1:4. So there is a lot to make up against Marseille.
The other famous Olympique is not having an ideal part of the season either. Unlike Lyon, Marseille don’t lose much, but instead of wins, they only collect draws. In the last 6 competitive matches, there have been 5 of them, the only three-point gain came at the end of October against Clermont (1-0). Draws with PSG or Nice cannot be described as losses, but the 0-0 result at home against Metz deserves this description. Marseille couldn't even take advantage of a man advantage lasting more than 30 minutes against the outsiders and dropped valuable points at home before the national break.
Betdoin's view of the match
The odds quite clearly favour Lyon, but Betdoin's algorithm sees the match as much more even. Marseille are not too far behind OL in quality and can rely on a well-functioning defence, unlike the home side. The system thus found value mainly in betting on the success of the away side. One of the selected picks is over 4.5 away corners at tempting odds of around 2.20.
Absentees and estimated line-ups
Injured defender Dubois will not help Lyon, while striker Kadewere is also out due to a suspension. The start of Denayer and Dembele is uncertain, both players are recovering from health problems. Marseille will start without defender Balerdi, who is suspended, and injured winger Under will not play either.
Lyon - estimated line-up:
Lopes - Gusto, Boateng, Denayer, Emerson - Guimaraes, Caqueret - Ekambi, Paqueta, Aouar - Slimani
Marseille - estimated line-up:
López - Saliba, Caleta-Car, Peres - Lirola, Gueye, Kamara, Henrique - Guendouzi, Payet - Milik
