Lyon and Marseille face each other this Sunday for a highly anticipated Olympico, at the end of the 20th day of Ligue 1 (8:45 p.m.). Here is all the essential information on this match.
If Lyon and Marseille are not swimming in the same waters this season, the two Olympics are certainly the biggest disappointments of the championship. Sixteenth, OL are still flirting with the red zone. The Rhone club conceded two consecutive losses after a series of three victories which allowed it to get its head above water, just before the holidays.
Opposite, OM emerges at completely different altitudes since Gennaro Gattuso’s team is in seventh place in the ranking. But this team connected to alternating current does not exude certainty in its game. Suffice to say that this Olympico is a turning point for these two strongholds of French football, all in the explosive context of a match classified as high risk , a few months after the unbearable excesses which marred the first leg match.
The expected compositions
Lyon : Lopes – Mata, O’Brien, Caleta-Car – Maitland-Niles, Caqueret, Matic, Tagliafico – Nuamah, Lacazette, Orban.
Marseille : Lopez – Meïté, Balerdi, Gigot, Merlin – Ounahi, Onana, Harit – Ndiaye, Aubameyang, Luis Henrique.
Where to watch the game ?
This Ligue 1 match between Lyon and Marseille will be broadcast this Sunday evening on Prime Video, from 8:45 p.m. It will also be possible to watch it on the Amazon group’s streaming platform, via the Ligue 1 Pass.
