Olympique de Marseille

Marseille recently bolstered their attacking options by signing Rennes winger Amine Gouiri.
However, they have parted ways with forward Elye Wahi, who has joined Eintracht Frankfurt and Lilian Brassier, who has joined Rennes.
Manager Roberto De Zerbi will need to integrate his new signing and adjust his lineup accordingly if the team wants to secure a positive result in the Olympico.
Lyon

Following Pierre Sage's dismissal, Lyon recently appointed Paulo Fonseca as head coach on a two-and-a-half-year contract.
Fonseca brings experience from previous roles at clubs such as Porto, Shakhtar Donetsk, AS Roma, and Lille.
There are no significant injury concerns reported in terms of player availability at this time, allowing Fonseca to field a strong lineup as he begins his tenure.
Prediction

Olympique de Marseille

2 : 1

Lyon

Lyon heads into this game in a period of transition, with new manager Paulo Fonseca set to take charge for the first time. The team has struggled for consistency, and with only one win in their last five league games, they will be eager to turn things around.
Marseille remain a strong contender despite recent squad changes. Amine Gouiri’s arrival adds firepower to their attack, and they will look to capitalise on Lyon’s instability.
With Marseille’s superior form and Lyon adjusting to a new system, the hosts could have the edge.
