We are looking forward to an interesting match in the French Ligue 1. Who will you bet on?

Olympique Marseille vs Olympique Lyon. Who’s your favourite?

Do we have any French Ligue 1 fans here? We have a very exciting match tomorrow at 21:00 European time. Olympique Marseille takes on Olympique Lyon. For us at ChampionBet, this is one of the highly anticipated matches, not only because of the previous events that caused the postponement of the match. Let’s talk more about the upcoming French match.

What can we expect from the match?

Olympique Marseille boasts an unbeaten home record (3-2-0) this season. The attack will be led by Ismaila Sarr, who has 3 goals, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who has proven to be a very key player for the team thanks to his 3 assists. All indications are that Marseille is very well prepared to deliver a strong performance at their home stadium, the Orange Velodrome, especially considering that Marseille haven’t lost in any of their last 9 home matches.

On the other hand, Olympique Lyon, with Alexandre Lacazette, who equalled Sarr’s scoring record, and Sael Kumbedi, the top assistant, can make the game really unpredictable. Although Lyon have struggled to win away from their home stadium recently, they don’t lack the talent to score goals anyway.

Key stats and insights

• The most common result in this match is a 1-1 draw, which has occurred in 12 of the last 62 encounters.
• Marseille have scored 38% of their goals between 16-30 minutes, the most in the league.
• Lyon, on the other hand, has struggled to score away, finding the net in only 2 of their 5 away games.
• Historical data slightly favours Lyon, who have won 27 of their last 62 encounters.

The impact of the recent scandal

The recent disturbing incident, in which Lyon’s coach Fabio Grosso and assistant Raffaele Longo were attacked and injured, may have had a psychological impact on the team. This kind of violent behaviour, strongly condemned by both clubs and the league, has brought unexpected tension and a lot of questions to the preparation of this match.

What are we betting on at ChampionBet?

Given the historical data and the current form, a draw seems the most likely outcome, but this can never be said one hundred percent, especially given the preparation of both teams. Our tip is to bet on a draw at half-time or the whole match. Of course, it is important to take into account the already mentioned scandal that may have affected the Lyon players. Therefore, it is quite possible that Marseille will have an edge.

If you want to spice up your betting, it might not be a bad idea to bet on Sarr or Lacazette to score. However, we would like to point out that these are just our observations and tips, for which we take no responsibility.
