We said: Marseille 1-0 Lyon

Despite their less-than-ideal home form, Marseille should be confident of securing maximum points at the expense of Lyon this weekend at Stade Velodrome. Les Gones will enter the contest with a new manager at the helm, although we feel that Fonseca will be unable to prevent his side's winless run from extending to seven matches across all competitions.
