Olympique Marseille once looked like they would challenge PSG for the French Ligue 1 title but they’ve fallen off the pace. They will be at home in their next Ligue 1 game, hosting Lyon and going into the game, both teams will be badly in need of three points. Marseille are fifth on 24 points and Lyon eighth on 20 points. Ahead of this game, Marseille are winless in five straight outings. Their 2-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League was their fourth defeat in five matches and the third straight time they conceded more than a goal. They’ve failed to score in two of their last five matches but have no clean sheet in the five games. At home, they’ve suffered two straight defeats in Ligue 1 and are winless in the last three.

Olympique Lyonnais have improved greatly in their recent matches. They come into this game on the back of two wins, the most recent having been 1-0 against Lille. That win presented their first clean sheet in five matches, thus to this game, they don’t take a very strong run in defence. Both teams have scored in three of their last five matches, and Lyon have only failed to score once in their last five games. Their away run will however be a concern; they have four losses in the last five games on the road. From a possible 15 points away from home, Lyon have managed just three points. Their last away game was against Montpellier, which they won 2-1; that was the fourth of their five away matches to produce over 2.5 goals. Lyon have failed to score in just one of their last five away matches
