Prediction published on 26/02/2021, 11:30  by Daniel Ngulu in Ligue 1 Predictions

Olympique Marseille are going through tough times but will hope they can build on a four-match unbeaten run going to their home match against Lyon. Marseille head to this game on 38 points and placed seventh in the standings and will be out to upset second placed Lyon, who are on 55 points. The hosts however have just one win in the last nine matches in Ligue 1 and only three clean sheets in the last 15. In their last league match, Marseille registered a 1-1 draw with Nantes and their main concern would be keeping sporting discipline amid a tumultuous campaign. They’ve had four players sent off in the last four league games and fans recently stormed the team’s training session in protest over poor results. A new manager, Jorge Sampaoli is reported to be the new manager heading to the team and he’ll find a lot on his in-tray following the resignation of Andre Villas Boas. The win over Nice in the last home game ended a three-game losing run at their backyard in the league. They will hope for more of that as the team seeks to improve from a run that has seen them win 18 points at home, from a possible 36 in the league.

Meanwhile, Olympique Lyon are looking to go joint top with Lille, who are three points ahead of them. Only a win can guarantee that, if Lille will lose their match. Lyon march to this game having lost just twice in the last 15 matches. They’re the joint second best scorers in the league with 54 goals and only failed to score in one of their 22 league matches. They’ve scored two or more goals in three of their last five league matches, totaling 10 goals in the last five and conceding five. Four of their last five league matches have produced over 2.5 goals and they’re unbeaten in their 11 away league matches, winning eight. Lyon head to this clash unbeaten in their last two matches against Marseille.
