Marseille desperately need points on Sunday, Dec 13 at 8:45 PM in the Ligue 1. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Lyon come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Marseille travel struggling badly (1W 4L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

In 10 previous meetings, Lyon lead 4–6 with 0 draws. Their last encounter ended in Lyon won 2–3. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.4 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: The gulf in league position makes Lyon clear favorites, but Marseille have shown they can grind out results. Expect Lyon to take the points, potentially without being at their best.
