French League
2007-03-11 - Olympique Lyonnais vs Marseille
A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Analysis:Lyon who are already aliminated from the Champions League can now concentrate fully on winning the Ligue 1 title as they welcome the visit of Marseille for this fixture. There are some 23 points separating the sides here and while Lyon will be looking to bag another 3 points to wrap up the title as soon as possible, the visitors will want to make a push for the UEFA Cup at least here.
Lyon did make up for the 3-3 draw with Sochaux in their last match by winning 3-1 away from home against Saint Etienne. This will put them in the right frame of mind as they wqelcome Marseille back on home soil. They have not done enough in their last four home matches managing just one win against F.C Lorient. So you can expect a more spirited performance by Gerard Houlier's side here.
But take nothing for granted as they have a wonderful home record of 8 wins, 4 draws and just 1 defeat still at home. Managing to score 22 times and conceded just 11. Apart from the win over Lorient at home, their other two games were all drawn against the likes of Sochaux 3-3, Nice 1-1 and were beaten by Bordeaux 2-1.
As for Marseille, they have a very poor away record of 3 wins, 3 draws and as many as 8 defeats. They have scored 12 but conceded as many as 17. In their last match they lost to RC Lens 1-0 at home and in their last three away games they suffered defeats to the likes of Toulouse 3-0, Bordeaux 1-0 and Le Mans 2-0. Their only win in that run away from home was against Stade Rennes when they won 2-0, which seems ages ago now.
Cheers and good luck,
Cruiser
