Their form recently isn't exactly confidence boosting, having picked up just nine points from their last five games in the league, while they also drew with Besiktas in the first leg of their Turkish Cup semifinal just two weeks ago. Two Turkish giants face off in the Eternal derby - the only game derby game to be played between teams in two continents.įenerbahce currently sit fourth in the table, six points behind their rivals, and will be desperate to win to cut that difference, along with the pride that comes with any derby triumph. The hosts are favourites once again and performances recently would suggest that they are more than capable of picking up a valuable three points.

It has been nearly four years since Marseille won against Lyon, with Lyon having triumphed three times in that time.

They haven't been scoring many goals with ten goals in their last eight, but with only six conceded they will be hoping their tight defence is enough to help them through this tough game. They have managed four wins in their last eight in all competitions, with only one loss in that run. That run has seen them fall from joint second with Monaco to nine points behind them, and they are now five points away from even getting into the Champions League qualifies next season. Lyon’s recent form has been poor, with just 13 points from their last 10 league games. Since their loss at home in early September, they have managed eight wins and three draws and will be hoping to keep up their good run of form. They will be high in confidence coming into the game, having dropped just 11 points at home all season.

With a 3-1 lead, their opponents will be going all out to try and bring the tie back, meaning Marseille can't be complacent or rest too many players ahead of their tough weekend fixture. Marseille’s potential downfall may be that they have a tough Europa League second leg tie on Thursday night against Athletic Bilbao. With this being their last properly tough match of the season, while Monaco still have to travel to PSG, they will be hoping to keep the pressure up on the side above them in case of any slip up. Marseille are currently four points behind second placed Monaco, who also have a far superior goal difference. Both sides will be desperate for a win to help boost their chances of catching the team ahead of them and improve their prospects in next seasons European competitions.

We start off in France, where third host fourth. Onwards and upwards from here as we go into another tough week of fixtures. With a few upsets having happened in the last few weeks, I tried to predict that again, but with no success as my two big punts went the way of the bookies' favourites. Last week couldn't have gone any worse really.
