Everything that happened within Marseille after their home defeat against Rennes has not yet been digested. Yes, there was a nice win against Paris FC, but the visiting team, newly promoted, managed to recover two goals during the match. In short, there are defensive problems—and not only that, but also character issues—and Lyon currently seems to be and is in better shape.
After resolving all its problems over the summer, with a relegation that was then revoked by a judge, Lyon decided to invest in the transfer market as much as possible but, above all, not to sell the team’s prized assets. Coach Maciel has also had a good start. Six points in two games, with the possibility of increasing the tally. Six points without conceding a goal, let’s be clear, and this is currently the strength of this team, which is able to close down all spaces and take very few risks. Certainly, however, at the moment, the home team is the favorite (in our opinion and not according to the bookmakers), so in our prediction, we’ll tell you how it could end.

The prediction
Yes, without a doubt, both teams will find the back of the net. So the GOL sign is what will come out, as happened in the last two matches. Then, as explained above, we believe that Lyon can take the victory. And three very important points.
