Lyon v Marseille: How to watch, TV channel, kick-off time, head-to-head stats and team news

Two of French football's biggest clubs meet on Sunday evening when Lyon play host to Marseille in the 'Derby of the Olympics'.

Winners of 16 French titles between them, there are few bigger clashes in a Ligue 1 season, but on the evidence of the early exchanges only one of the pair will be in the title reckoning this term.

Marseille have made an exceptional start to life under former Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi, taking 10 points from their first four games, whereas hosts Lyon have only four points on the board after a sluggish start.

Lyon v Marseille stats and head-to-head record (H2H)

Marseille have made a near-faultless start to the season, winning three of their first four Ligue 1 matches and scoring 12 goals in the process.

They've kept only a single clean sheet in that time - in last weekend's 2-0 win over Nice - which should hearten Lyon, although the four league goals the hosts have scored this season all came in a 4-3 success over Strasbourg two games ago.

Lyon have drawn blanks in their other three Ligue 1 outings in 2024-25 and they have lost three of their last four meetings with Marseille, including two games to nil.

Canadian defender Derek Cornelius is suspended after being sent off in last week's win over Nice and he could be replaced at the heart of defence by Leonardo Balerdi, but left-back Quentin Merlin is still sidelined.
