On Sunday night will be a meeting between the Choc des Olympiques rivals in the Ligue 1. Lyon host Marseille at the Groupama Stadium for a Ligue 1 match. The two sides are separated by 14 points in the league table. Marseille currently occupy the second position in the standings with 64 points, five places ahead of Lyon who occupy the seventh position with 50 points. Lyon beat Toulouse 2-1 in their last time out to maintain their hunt for European places. While Marseille defeated Troyes 3-1 in their last league game. This will be a closely fought encounter as it is a derby. I am expecting a win or a draw for Marseille for the following reasons:

Firstly. Lyon have actually been in a good form recently. Barring their loss to Nantes in the Coupe de France Semifinal, they have won their last three games in the Ligue 1. After their impressive win over PSG at PSG's home, they have gone on to win Rennes and Toulouse. Lyon have lost just one of their last 12 games in the Ligue 1; winning seven and drawing four of them. Lyon started the season poorly as their poor performances earlier had got them languishing closer to the bottom of the league table. But since the appointment of Laurent Blanc as their manager, he has steadied the ship and got them within the reach of European places in the table.

Secondly. Marseille themselves are doing quite well in the league. They remain unbeaten in their last seven games. They have been in an impressive form in this second half of the season; and this form has got them placed on the second position in the table. They have only lost two of their last 19 league games; securing 12 wins from them. They will be desperate to maintain their position in the table as they are just one point away from third placed Lens, and just three points away from fourth placed Monaco.

Both teams are almost evenly matched in terms of their recent form. But, Lyon have not been very strong at home. They have been able to win only three of their last 11 home games in the league. This cannot be compared to Marseille's away form, who have only suffered a solitary defeat in their last 15 away matches; winning 11 of them in the process. Lyon have had some problems in the defence as well, as they have conceded in all their last ten games except for two. As much as this is bound to be a close match, a slight advantage goes to Marseille to notch the win. Therefore, I am expecting a win or a draw for Marseille.

周日晚上，两队将在法甲联赛中相遇。里昂主场迎战马赛将在古帕马球场进行一场法甲联赛。双方在积分榜上相差14分。马赛目前以64分排名第二，领先里昂5个名次，里昂以50分排名第七。里昂在最后一场比赛中2-1击败图卢兹，继续争夺欧洲席位。马赛在上一场联赛中以3:1击败了特鲁瓦。这将是一场激烈的德比战。我希望马赛能赢或平，原因如下:

首先。里昂最近状态不错。除了在法国杯半决赛中输给南特，他们在法甲联赛中最近三场比赛都取得了胜利。在主场大胜巴黎圣日耳曼之后，他们又拿下了雷恩和图卢兹。里昂在法甲联赛最近12场比赛中只输了1场;七胜四平。里昂本赛季开局不佳，他们之前的糟糕表现让他们在积分榜上越来越接近垫底。但自从布兰科出任主教练以来，他稳住了球队的势头，带领球队向着欧洲联赛的目标前进。

其次。马赛在联赛中表现得很好。他们在最近七场比赛中保持不败。他们在本赛季后半段的表现令人印象深刻;这个表格让他们排在了积分榜的第二位。他们在过去的19场联赛中只输了两场;从他们那里获得12场胜利。他们将不顾一切地保持他们在积分榜上的位置，因为他们与第三名朗斯只相差一分，与第四名摩纳哥只相差三分。

就最近的状态而言，两队几乎势均力敌。但是，里昂在主场并不是很强大。在过去的11场主场比赛中，他们只赢了3场。这无法与马赛的客场状态相比，他们在最近的15场客场比赛中只遭遇了一场失败;在这个过程中赢了11个。里昂在后防线上也有一些问题，他们在过去的10场比赛中，除了两场外，全部失球。尽管这注定是一场势均力敌的比赛，但马赛队以微弱的优势赢得了胜利。因此，我期待马赛取得一场胜利或平局。
