FC Porto vs Marseille Prediction & Betting tips
For the third week in a row, the world-famous Champions League anthem will be heard on Tuesday and Wednesday. The first half of the group stage will be completed this week before the next international break is on the agenda next week. In Group C there could be a preliminary decision in the fight for the round of 16 ticket on Tuesday evening. FC Porto and Olympique Marseille face each other at the Estadio do Dragao.
A controversial game in which the pressure is primarily on the shoulders of the guests. Marseille are still without a point and would have to finally bury their hopes in the round of 16 with another defeat. It will be an emotional matter, especially for “OM” trainer Andre Villas-Boas, after all, he was extremely successful as a Porto trainer in 2010/11.
The previews, which are provided with a tip recommendation, for the other games in the premier class can be found on the betting base in the tip category Champions League.
FC Porto :
The 29-time Portuguese champions are one of the most featured teams in the UEFA Champions League. Sergio Conceicao’s team is taking part for the 24th time this autumn. In the last three appearances, Porto was able to reach the round of 16 – a goal that should also be achieved this autumn.
Last season, Porto had to give up completely surprisingly to the Russian representative FK Krasnodar, thanks to the championship 2019/20 Porto was firmly qualified for the group stage this season. The defeat against Manchester City on matchday one was Porto’s first defeat after four wins in the group games of the premier class. In general, Porto have only lost one of the last eleven games in the CL group stage (eight wins, two draws, one defeat).
The strength at home at the Estadio do Dragao is particularly noteworthy, the last six games in the group stage were all won. In view of these figures, the prognosis for the home win on Tuesday between Porto and Marseille is absolutely obvious.
This is underlined by the convincing Porto record against French teams. Only five of the 25 games against Ligue 1 teams were lost, at home Porto even has a 9-2-1 home record.
Although Porto beat Olympiacos 2-0 last weekend, there is still a question mark over their current form. In the Portuguese league NOS, point losses of the title contenders are a rarity in normal cases. Currently, the Conceicao-Elf has only won three of the six league games. Last weekend Porto suffered a surprising 3-2 defeat at Pacos Ferreira and are already six points behind their big rivals Benfica Lisbon.
Marseille:
Andre Villas-Boas was involved with FC Porto in the 2010/11 season and celebrated an outstanding year as the 33-year-old coach. Villas-Boas had 58 competitive games and an average of 2.62 points per game, making them not only champions, but also Europa League winners. After working in England, Russia and China, he has been with Marseille since July 2019.
When the season ended, Olympique Marseille was in second place last season and had thus secured the unofficial title of “Best of the Rest” behind industry leader Paris Saint-Germain. This means that Marseille is back in the premier class for the first time since the 2013/14 season. The memories of the last appearance are not particularly positive, however, because Marseille suffered six defeats in the horror group with Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund and SSC Napoli.
This scenario is still possible at the moment, because Marseille also suffered a defeat in the first two group games. “L’OM” has now lost eleven Champions League games in a row. Should there be the twelfth bankruptcy in a row on Tuesday, the negative record of RSC Anderlecht would be set.
But not only in the premier class was Marseille not able to convince in the last appearances, but generally the team has been disappointing on the international stage since the EL final against Red Bull Salzburg. Since then, Marseille has only achieved one draw (nine defeats) and has only won one of the last 14 international away games (1-5-8 record).
In the domestic championship, however, there is nothing to be seen of the weakness away from home and in the first four games Marseille was able to collect ten out of twelve possible points. Last weekend, the team had no play at RC Lens due to several positive cases and was therefore able to prepare well for the Porto game.
