Manchester City vs Marseille Prediction & Betting tips
How motivated is Manchester City in the final group game? In Group C of the premier class, the decision on the round of 16 tickets has long been made and the English will move into the knockout phase together with FC Porto. The sporting incentive should be greater on the sixth day of the opponent from Marseille. The French are still fighting for third place in the long-distance duel with Olympiacos Piraeus and thus entering the Europa League.
Olympique needs at least one counter for this and is dependent on FC Porto shooting help. The kick-off at Etihad Stadium is on Wednesday evening at 20:00 p.m.
Manchester City:
For many years, Manchester City has had the big goal of winning the cup in the Champions League. This season, the focus of Pep Guardiola’s squad seems to be again on international business. In the league, the Citizens cannot be satisfied with the start of the season and the runner-up is currently only 6th in the Premier League table.
At least a small increase in performance was noticeable recently and at the weekend a sovereign 2-0 home win against Fulham was celebrated. In the Champions League, on the other hand, the British showed no nakedness and, after four wins in their first four games last week, won the group at FC Porto.
Guardiola’s protégés achieved a 0-0 draw in Portugal and it was already evident at this encounter that the tension within the team had eased a little. Since the first place has now been consolidated, it is easy to imagine that some stars will be spared on Wednesday. This becomes all the more likely when the next opponent in the league is considered. The much-anticipated Manchester derby is coming up this weekend.
In addition to the ailing Sergio Agüero, who would come too early for the mission anyway, other stars such as De Bruyne, Gabriel Jesus, or Raheem Sterling could get a breather. This could be at the expense of the stable defensive, which has been clean for four competitive games. Despite the high individual quality, which is undoubtedly also broadly available, a tip on the odds of the outsider between Manchester City and Marseille seems worth considering under these circumstances.
Marseille:
At Olympique Marseille, the season has so far been completely opposite to that of the English opponent. With the team from the Cote d`Azur nothing came together internationally, while the performances in the domestic league are more than satisfactory. With a series of five successive successes, Marseille has established itself in the top group and can even take first place from Paris with the two outstanding matches.
At the weekend there was an unspectacular 2-0 win at Olympique Nimes in the style of a top team. Coach Villas-Boas, who saw the red card for complaining on the sideline, was even able to spare one or the other player a little. For example, superstar Dimitri Payet was replaced in half time 2.
It was Payet who with his brace on matchday five of the premier class against Piraeus still maintained the chance of a place in the Europa League. With the 2-1 home win at the Stade Velodrome, Marseille lost the direct comparison against the Greeks (because of the away goal rule). Points must therefore be scored on Wednesday and a look will always go to Porto, where Piraeus competes in parallel.
Even if it will be difficult, between Manchester City and Marseille at least the prognosis can be dared that the guests want to take their mini-chance and will put everything in the pan. Coach Villas-Boas will spare no star players and send his first guard onto the lawn at the Etihad Stadium.
