At the end of the 20th day of Ligue 1, Lyon and Marseille challenge each other. The defeated will plunge into crisis.
21:31
The post for Lacazette! Lyon very close to the break (43rd, 1-0)
Lacazette very close to the double! The OL striker once again inherits a good cross but his instant recovery crashes into Pau Lopez’s right post before ending up in the arms of the Marseille goalkeeper. It was minus one for OM who have been in difficulty for several minutes.
21:27
OM concedes another goal… (40th, 1-0)
Since the start of the season, Marseille have never managed to keep a clean sheet outside their bases.
21:25
Yellow card for O’Brien (39th, 1-0)
The Lyonnais collected the first yellow card following an anti-playing fault.
21:25
Goal from Lyon! Lacazette opens the scoring (37th, 1-0)
Lacazette’s 10th goal this season! On a good acceleration from Nuamah, who crosses directly, the “general” inherits a favorable counter to deceive Pau Lopez. 1-0 for OL.
21:20
Sterile possession of Marseillais (33rd, 0-0)
Gattuso’s men have still not penetrated the Lyon area once. The Lyonnais managed to get there 8 times. OM still have 60% possession but no opportunities to get their teeth into.
21:17
OM harmless in these first 30 minutes (30th, 0-0)
Despite significant physical intensity, the Phocéens did not score their 17th goal of the season in the first half hour. The Marseillais still have not had a single shot on target in this meeting. Only one Lyon side…
21:14
The meeting does not get carried away (27th, 0-0)
The Lyonnais, who have already made six mistakes in this first half hour, are clearly not enjoying the game. The same for the Marseillais. Both teams struggle to create clear chances.
21:12
Orban misses his pass (26th, 0-0)
In the midfield, the Lyonnais tries to find Lacazette but Henrique intercepts the poorly assured transmission.
21:11
Caqueret stop Harit (23rd, 0-0)
After a good opening from Ounahi, Harit lost his duel against Caqueret. The Lyonnais puts Caleta-Car back on his defender who gets a little frightened by his goalkeeper.
21:07
Lopez attentive (18th, 0-0)
The Marseille goalkeeper is vigilant on a deflected free kick at the near post. The Spaniard releases his fists.
21:05
Harit’s crazy attempt on video (18th, 0-0)
The Marseillais almost deceived Lopes in the 3rd second of the match.
21:03
OM have their foot on the ball (15th, 0-0)
Gattuso’s players showed 60% possession in this first quarter of an hour. The Lyonnais are still more dangerous in rapid attacks.
21:01
Harit completely misses (14th, 0-0)
Total incomprehension between Harit and Luis Henrique on a Marseille offensive. It’s a shame, the Moroccan made the difference with his ball handling.
20:59
The same for Ounahi (12th, 0-0)
The Marseillais are struggling to bring danger to Lopes’ cage. The offensives lack rhythm. Ounahi strikes from the edge of the area but the Moroccan’s shot is off target. The Lyonnais seemed more incisive offensively in its first minutes.
20:57
Orban does not fit (9th, 0-0)
Harit loses his duel against O’Brien, Lacazette recovers and sends the rookie Orban into the depths who gets the better of Balerdi. The Lyonnais then took his chance but his shot flew into the stands of Groupama Stadium.
20:55
Marseille sets the game (8th, 0-0)
The Marseillais circulate the ball and try to find the fault against the tight Lyon lines.
20:52
The center of Caqueret (5th, 0-0)
Maitland-Niles waits for Caqueret’s call to serve the midfielder who then crosses. The Marseille defense counters and Lopez once again seizes the ball quietly.
20:50
Matic tries his luck (3rd, 0-0)
OL tried to respond through their recruit Matic, but the Serbian’s shot was too crushed. No problem for Pau Lopez.
20:48
What an opportunity for OM from the first seconds! (1st, 0-0)
Harit tries to lob Lopes on the kick-off but the crossbar saves OL! What an incredible action! It would have been the goal of the year. Lyon was very hot.
20:45
Let’s go
Start of this Olympico between OL and OM.
20:35
The match kicks off in a few minutes
20:34
Lyon lines up its new recruits
First match in the Olympique Lyonnais jersey for Matic.
20:33
Lacazette is hungry…
The “general” will try to continue his good momentum this evening.
20:30
Point in the standings
In the event of a victory this evening at home, Lyon (15th-16 points), which has strengthened this winter, can climb to 13th place, level with Montpellier and Nantes, and move away from the red zone. If Marseille wins, the Phocéens (8th-29 points) will move up to 6th place and will have the same number of points as Lens. Enough to get closer to European places.
20:26
The decisive first 30 minutes?
OM love the start of a match. Lyon has been warned…
20:23
OM has the psychological ascendancy
Lyon have lost each of their last 3 L1 matches against Marseille. This is as many as in his previous 27 (12 wins and 12 draws). This is the longest series of defeats in the history of OL against OM in the championship. Their last meeting between the two clubs, the Rhone residents were swept aside 3-0 at the Vélodrome stadium on December 6.
20:20
The Marseille composition
Note Merlin’s tenure for his first with OM.
20:15
The Lyon composition
Matic and Orban, two of the many Rhone recruits in the winter transfer window, are starters. Cherki is on the bench.
20:10
