Marseille vs Liverpool Prediction & Betting tips
Olympique de Marseille will host Liverpool FC in the UEFA Champions League at the Stade Vélodrome on
Wednesday, January 21, 2026, at 10:00 PM EET. Liverpool has the edge in the overall head-to-head record. Notably, both teams are on historic streaks of not having a draw in the Champions League group/league phase – Marseille’s last 30 games and Liverpool’s last 27 have produced a winner or loser.
Marseille:
Marseille enters the match in strong form, particularly in scoring goals, with 16 goals in their last three outings (though some were against lower-division opposition). They are confident at their home ground, the Stade Vélodrome, which is known for its hostile atmosphere for visiting teams. Key players include forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and top scorer Mason Greenwood.
Liverpool:
Liverpool, in contrast, has struggled domestically, registering four draws in their last five matches. Their European form has been more consistent, with four wins from six Champions League fixtures. A key boost for the Reds is the return of star forward Mohamed Salah to training after the Africa Cup of Nations, though it is unclear if he will start. Injuries rule out Conor Bradley, Alexander Isak, and Giovanni Leoni.
