Lyon v Marseille : Ligue 1 match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sun 22nd Sep, 19:45 BST, Stade Gerard Houllier, Le Touquet-Paris-Plage

Pierre Sage and Roberto De Zerbi meet in the Ligue 1 on Sunday evening, as Lyon face Marseille at the Stade Gerard Houllier. This preview has odds from leading bookmakers for 17 different betting markets, alongside bespoke data that updates as you explore. Our predictions run off 20-game form, so all statistics are shown from a 20-game perspective. Home, away and overall records can be viewed, while there's also head-to-head history towards the bottom of the page.

Best Tip: Both teams to score

Both Marseille and Lyon fans may have some reason for celebration ahead as their sides go head-to-head, with our prediction of both teams to score looking a much better pick than any bet on the outright winner. The two sides have goals in them, as is borne out by the stats and past head-to-head data below. Even the bookies odds are not finding real separation between the sides, as striking power and defensive options suggest each team is capable of both scoring and conceding. Both teams to score is our top tip.
