Before Betting
Marseille have been one of the standout teams at the start of the new Ligue 1 season this term. Roberto De Zerbi has immediately got a tune out of his new players after taking the job with the French club following his departure from Brighton.
Controversial signing Mason Greenwood has already proven to be a hit in France, netting a Ligue 1-high of five goals in four appearances this season.
Marseille’s start to the season signals the fourth straight campaign in which the club have gone their opening four matches without suffering a defeat. However, avoiding defeat on Sunday would see them join PSG as the only teams to go their opening five matches without loss in four straight seasons.

It has been a slower start to the season for Lyon. The French side have won once in their opening four matches, and they currently sit down in 13th place in the Ligue 1 standings.
Interestingly, Lyon have still gained European qualification in the previous four seasons when they have recorded four points or fewer after four rounds of matches.
Defensively, they will need to massively improve ahead of this showdown. Lyon have conceded 15 goals in their last seven matches at the Groupama Stadium.
Lyon vs. Marseille Prediction
Recent form highlights the away win as the likely outcome on Sunday. However, it could be challenging to overlook the fact that Marseille have won just 28% of their matches against their Ligue 1 rivals.
Meanwhile, Lyon have suffered just one defeat in their last 18 home matches against Marseille, which points to value in the home side in the betting.
