Lyon vs Marseille Live

One of the most high-profile fixtures of the weekend round of matches in the French Ligue 1 sees Lyon host Marseille at home in a clash that will go a long way in determining who would enter the winter break atop the French League. Lyon come into this fixture on the back of a shocking away defeat and you can catch up with their response with our coverage of Lyon vs Marseille live online on www.oleolefootball.com, our coverage starts from 20:00 GMT Sunday 14^th December 2008.

Lyon saw their gap atop the French league cut down to just three points when they slipped up away from home at Nantes. Playing a week before their Champions League clash against Bayern, Lyon looked in poor form and now face the realistic possibility of going into the winter break second in the table. Lyon are currently the leaders of the French Ligue with thirty four points from seventeen matches and with the likes of Benzema in full flow, they will be favourites to pick up a home win against Marseille over the weekend round of matches.

Marseille on the other hand, can now concentrate on their domestic performance after being knocked out of Europe by Atletico Madrid. The Stade Vellodrome outfit are on a good run of form and have leapfrogged Bordeaux to second in the table. A victory here will see them top the French Ligue after a long interval and they will be hoping to break Lyon’s monopoly when they take the field against the seven time champions of France away from home.
