Choc des Olympiques - Lyon goes head-to-head with Marseille.
The Choc des Olympiques promises an electrifying encounter as a rejuvenated Lyon aim for consecutive home wins against high-flying Marseille, who are eager to maintain their impressive start under Roberto De Zerbi.
Olympique Lyonnais
After kicking off the 2024-2025 Ligue 1 campaign with back-to-back losses, Lyon are slowly finding their footing. Pierre Sage’s men have picked up four points from their last two league games [LLWD], including a thrilling 4-3 win against Strasbourg on matchday three before a goalless draw against Lens last time out.
“We played a good match, seriously,” Sage said after the draw. “We created opportunities that should have allowed us to transform our game into a victory. But we did not seize them,” he added.
With the draw, Les Gones sit in 13th place on the Ligue 1 table, just below 12th-placed Toulouse. They will now shift focus to their matchday five encounter with Marseille, hoping to secure back-to-back home victories for the first time this season.
Lyon will be looking to draw inspiration from recent success against Marseille going into Sunday’s clash, having secured a 1-0 victory over the visitors in their last meeting at home. However, their struggles in defence, which has seen them concede 15 goals in their last seven home league games, leave little hope for achieving the same feat.
Pierre Sage is expected to deploy the familiar 3—5—2, with Gift Orban and Alexandre Lacazette in attack for Sunday’s Choc des Olympiques.
Olympique Marseille
Marseille began the season impressively under new manager Roberto De Zerbi, collecting ten points from a possible twelve. They opened with a commanding 5-1 win against Brest, but were held to a 2-2 draw with Reims before overcoming Toulouse 3-1 on matchday three.
Les Phocéens secured back-to-back league wins for the first time this season with a 2-0 victory against Nice last weekend. Neal Maupay scored his first goal for the club just before halftime, with Luis Henrique sealing the win in the second half.
De Zerbi described the start of their season as 'almost perfect' after the win, which saw them occupying second place, trailing Paris Saint-Germain by two points. Riding high on their form [WDWW], they travel to Lyon aiming to extend their winning run.
Historically, Marseille finds it challenging against Lyon, having won only 28% of their encounters. Elye Wahi is anticipated to feature in attack, while they will be missing Derek Cornelius, who is suspended after a red card against Nice.
