Marseille vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting tips
The next round in the Champions League group stage is coming up and Manchester City have to live up to their favorite role in Group C once again. In the away game against Marseille it will not be easy for the British to take home the victory they had hoped for.
The hosts are known to be unpleasant opponents and can certainly challenge City with an experienced and quick-witted force. With a corresponding defensive performance, the outsider might even be able to win points. Stopping the offensive fireworks of the Guardiola-Elf is known to be difficult.
Due to the statistically oppressive superiority of the guests, the bookmakers in the game Marseille vs. Manchester City agree on the odds. The exact odds of the different providers are clearly summarized in our betting base odds comparison.
Marseille:
The French runners-up had to cope with a bitter start to the season in the Champions League, because the Greek group underdog Olympiakos suffered a sobering 1-0 defeat last week. Now the traditional club would like to present itself in a different light and at least deliver a decent game. It goes without saying that you shouldn’t necessarily expect a win against Man City.
The season so far can be regarded as reasonably satisfactory. Like the Champions League, the league season opened with a defeat, but has not gone bankrupt since then. This fact may now also be considered a good omen for the premier class.
Andre Villas-Boas, who has been looking after Marseille for a year now, wants his team to grow with the task at hand.
The coach naturally sees it differently. He wants to pull the teeth of British ball artists with a compact defensive performance and wait for counter situations at the right moment. One or the other hit is certainly possible.
It’s bitter for Marseille that things are currently not going at all in their own stadium. Five points from four games are certainly an unsatisfactory result. The home balance should now be improved as quickly as possible.
Even if the bookmakers in the game Marseille vs. Manchester City are right to declare a tip on the hosts as an outsider option, so at least a goal for the French is not unlikely, as Marseille only went without a goal twice in the current season.
The home side also benefits from the fact that the list of injuries, which can be viewed under bans and injuries in the Champions League, is empty. Coach Villas-Boas can therefore muster his first guard against the English title favorite.
Manchester City:
For years, the Citizens have been one of the favorites for the title in the premier class, but so far they have not even made it to a final. If it is up to start coach Pep Guardiola, who is now in his fourth season on the sidelines, then it should finally be this year.
Whether Agüero, Sterling or De Bruyne, there is no shortage of good-sounding names in this squad. At the beginning of the season, however, the English runner-up was by no means confident. The way back to the top nationally is therefore not easy at the moment.
In the league, City was only able to deliver two wins in five games this season. Against Leicester, it also set a deep-seated 2: 5 rejection. A serious title candidate should probably present himself differently.
In order not to slide into a serious mess, the Guardiola-Elf must now present themselves well in the Champions League. With Porto, Marseille and Olympiakos they caught a very feasible group.
It is well known that an accident rarely comes alone and so the use of seven players on Tuesday is questionable. The hoped-for away win will therefore be a tough job.
Nevertheless, in the game Marseille vs. Manchester City to make a clear forecast on the guests, because thanks to their depth in the squad, the expected losses should be compensated to some extent equally.
Because the Citizens have scored in every game of the season so far, but have not yet conceded, a bet on a two-sided goal is an excellent option for us.
