Lyon v Marseille the standout clash of Ligue 1’s third round | OneFootball

The duel between the two ‘Olympiques’ of Ligue 1, Lyon and Marseille, is the highlight of the third round of the French championship, with Lyon leading and Marseille eager to turn the page on the Adrien Rabiot case this Sunday at 3:45 PM (Brasília time).

A Lyon side with limited resources, spared from the harsh blow of administrative relegation to Ligue 2, faces an ambitious OM, which is back in the Champions League this season. Just a few weeks ago, all predictions pointed to a triumph for the visitors.

But Lyon started the season with two wins and a goal difference that currently puts them at the top. On the other side, Marseille is trying to put an end to the Rabiot case, in which the midfielder was suspended after attacking a teammate.

After losing 1-0, despite having a numerical advantage in Rennes, the team turned things around against Paris FC (5-2). A win in Lyon would help put into perspective a problem that has hampered the start of the season.

PSG, the European champions, expected a tough start to the season after just three and a half weeks off, but so far everything is going well.

Coach Luis Enrique’s team has already won the European Super Cup on penalties against Tottenham and then defeated Nantes and Angers, both by 1-0. On Saturday, the Parisians visit the surprising Toulouse, who have also won their first two matches.
