Marseille vs Lyon Prediction, Odds & Statistics
Our Poisson-based model projects 1.13 expected goals for Marseille and 1.58 for Lyon, a combined total of 2.70.

Goals markets follow the same shape: 51% for over 2.5 goals and 54% for both teams to score, with 1–1 the single most likely scoreline at 12%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 48% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Lyon win, at 47.7%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–1.
It puts both teams scoring at 54% and over 2.5 goals at 51%.
A 48% selection is expected to miss in the remaining share of matches, and football regularly produces red cards, injuries and tactical changes the data cannot see. Treat this as a probability, not a forecast of the result.
