ANALYSIS AND PREDICTION FOR LYON - MARSEILLE
Lyon played a weak match against PSG in the league a few days ago. The kids only performed well in certain periods and rather used the PSG lower tempo after 3-0 to score 2 goals, although Lyon’s goals were well created and showed class in the squad. Lyon’s target for a place in the top 3 remains, but now they have a key clash with Marseille in the cup. This is one of Lyon’s big rivals, so the kids will be very aggressive.
Marseille have been performing extremely steadily in recent months and are confident for finishing in second place with no chance for the title, but without a particularly high chance of falling out of the top 3 unless a serious crisis strikes them. They have not conceded a goal in four consecutive league matches, and for the French Cup they managed to beat and eliminate Strasbourg in the last round.
Expert view : The match is difficult to predict because it is a derby. Both teams have their arguments, as well as big strive against the opponent. Let’s not forget that Rudy Garcia is here, too. He is the coach of Lyon, and before that he was the coach of Marseille, which further puts oil in the fire. We expect BTTS at 1.64. The reason is that we think it most logical for Lyon to approach aggressively and try to score as early as possible, and Marseille are great at counter attack. In addition, in such derbies there is always a dynamic that brings dangerous chances and goals.
