Marseille vs Manchester City Prediction, Betting Tips & Prediction

Marseille vs Manchester City
UEFA Champions League
Date: Tuesday, October 27, 2024
Starts at 20pm UK / 00pm CET
Location: Stade Velodrome.

Pep Guardiola is in danger after his failures on Europe's biggest stage in consecutive years. For all his success and dominance in domestic competition, the Spaniard doesn't have much to show at UCL other than his glory days at Barcelona.

Also, after spending money on one of the biggest transfer budgets in world football, you need this trophy at all costs. Of course, we can count on him to try to deliver one of his best European campaigns yet in 2024-21.

And it may or may not end up triumphing in the end, but one thing is for sure. It will not fall against a team from France. Not again.

The Olympic athletes are from the French Ligue 1 and, against a team from the best league in Europe, they have no chance. And keep in mind that the Citizens have been the best team in the EPL along with Liverpool over the last few years.

What's more, recent form also suggests that Andre Villas-Boas's men are not fit enough to face a championship contender.

Manchester City will have an easy victory on Tuesday.

• This is the first meeting between the two teams.

Marseille vs Manchester City: Prediction

The French contingent lost 1-0 away from home on the last day, against Olympiacos. Meanwhile, Citizens won 3-1 at home against Porto.

Moving on, Olympiacos are arguably the weakest team in the entire Group and Villas-Boas' charges started the campaign with a defeat against them. Furthermore, they also failed to win five of their previous seven games overall.

And at home, they haven't won in five of their six previous matches, and haven't kept a clean sheet in this field in the last eight months.

On the other hand, their opponents are undefeated in the last five meetings overall and have also been undefeated in the last five games away from home.

Most importantly, Pep is one of the best coaches of this generation and jealously runs one of the best teams in the world.

In addition, the players also have some points to correct, after being placed in the quarter-finals of this same competition by another French club, Lyon.

Of course, anticipate a Manchester City victory this Tuesday.
