Marseille will hope to sustain their impressive home form when they host Lyon in this midweek fixture. This Ligue 1 game will be played at the Stade Velodrome on Wednesday. Ahead of this match, the hosts are 9th with 17 points and the visitors are 18th with seven points, both playing 13 games each. Marseille can move a position up, at max, but are looking to consolidate their campaign after a stuttering start. A 2-0 win over Rennes last weekend has made it a run of four wins across seven competitive matches, losing only once. Marseille will once again bank on their impressive defensive record as they conceded just 14 goals so far. They have won four of their last five home matches in all competitions and should fancy their chances. Crucially, Marseille are yet to lose at home in Ligue 1 campaign this season and have kept five clean sheets in a row.

Lyon are stuck to the bottom of the table with only seven points from their 13 matches, a good six points behind safety. They are coming off consecutive losses to Lille and Lens, that has stunted their revival after a 1-0 win over Rennes. Lyon’s struggles in the final third are well-documented as they have scored a paltry 11 goals in the league campaign. On the other hand, they have conceded 24 goals and remain one of the most generous sides around. That has played a larger role in their record of three defeats across the last four away league matches.
