Lyon vs. Marseille betting tip & prediction: Who will score three times?

The aim is to keep up with Paris St. Germain if possible!

A warm welcome to our Lyon - Marseille betting tip. We don't deal with Ligue 1 very often, which may be due to PSG's clear favorite status in the championship battle. However, one team has actually started better in the first two league games. Here we are talking about Olympique Marseille. Now it remains to be seen whether the two wins in a row, with a very good goal difference, were just a flash in the pan. First of all, the team has to pass in our Lyon - Marseille prediction. The visitors have made an average start, but are considered one of the better teams in France. Naturally, the Parc Olympique Lyonnais is the venue for this match. On Sunday, August 31, 2025 (8:45 pm), this match will conclude matchday 3 of Ligue 1. Who will emerge victorious from this clash and who will suffer defeat?

Result tip

2:2

In the short term, Marseille got the better results. But Lyon started the 25/26 season stronger. That's why it's really difficult to choose a result. We are at least relatively certain that there will be a lot of goals here. That's why we've opted for a 2:2 draw in our betting tip.

Two matches have already been played in France's elite league. Olympique Lyon are top of the table with two wins and 4-0 goals - ahead of FC Toulouse, PSG and Racing Strasbourg.

Lyon finished sixth in 24/25, with 17 wins and six draws. Eleven defeats stopped the points at 57. 65:46 goals were scored. According to our betting tips from professionals today, the goal difference shows that a slightly better place would have been possible.Interim conclusion on Olympique Lyon: The start to the 25/26 season has been particularly promising. But perhaps Marseille will now be the first real test. It would be good for the tension if Lyon can continue to keep up with Paris Saint-Germain.

That was Lyon's last game!

Now we have praised Olympique Lyon. But their last victory was against promoted FC Metz with a 3:0 win. This result is also the reason for the good goal difference, which is ultimately enough for first place in the table. Before that, there was a narrow 1:0 win against RC Lens, a team that already had a good defense last season. Let's also take a look back at their preparations. We recognize a 2:1 over FC Getafe, the 1:2 against FC Bayern Munich and last but not least the 4:0 over RCD Mallorca. We would also like to mention the 4-0 win over Hamburger SV from a German perspective.

How good is Marseille's current form?

Olympique Marseille are currently only in seventh place. The start to the new season has been far from ideal. However, a defeat at the start was followed by a win. At 5:3, the goal difference tends to be positive. Incidentally, this is an average of four goals in the first two league games. If this tendency is not enough for your sports bet, free bets might be an option. Incidentally, Marseille finished second behind PSG in 24/25. They picked up 20 wins, five draws and nine defeats. They scored 74:47 goals. The only drawback: the 19-point gap to Paris.

This is how Marseille last played!

Marseille recently played against FC Paris - the new home of Kevin Trapp - with Aubameyang up front. However, Trapp was not in goal. Aubameyang scored two goals. Olympique Marseille won 5:2, which ultimately took them up to seventh place in Ligue 1. Because the first league game was lost 0:1 according to our Lyon - Marseille betting tip. The opponent was Stade Rennes. What was particularly annoying was that Rennes were sent off early on and played outnumbered from then on. Marseille were unable to take advantage of their superior numbers and even conceded 0:1 in the 91st minute. Test matches against Aston Villa (3:1), FC Sevilla (1:1), FC Valencia (1:1) and FC Girona (2:0) went very decently.

Our expert tip and prediction for Lyon v Marseille

Lyon beat Metz 3:0 on the final matchday. Marseille won 5:2 over FC Paris. So a Lyon - Marseille bet on over 2.5 goals is not too far-fetched. Otherwise, a third of the games (H2H) between the two teams ended in a draw. The draw tip is therefore our second choice as a betting recommendation.
