Our Marseille vs Lyon Prediction
This should be an evenly matched contest between the two teams. Both are determined to secure a top three finish this season and it will be hard to separate them. Lyon and Marseille are likely to cancel each other out this weekend on current form. Neither side will want to risk dropping points by playing an expansive style of football and a dull draw seems quite likely.
