Marseille Team News
The situation is very simple for Marseille today if they want to make the knockouts – they need to win. All of the recent events at their club have left their coach Igor Tudor enraged, which is definitely not a good preview for the game. Additional pressure comes from the fact that they haven´t been able to beat an English team in the Champions League in the last 12 years.
To say that the league form of the Les Olympiens has dropped recently would be an understatement. They haven´t won a league game since the end of last month and their poor results culminated in the last round when they wasted a 2:0 advantage against Strasbourg.
In front of their home fans, Marseille have only won one of their last five games, conceding at least a goal in their last six home games. In addition, the first head-to-head in London ended with 2:0 in favour of Tottenham, so statistically speaking the French side don´t have anything to rely on in today´s match.
Tottenham Team News
Tottenham´s recent results haven´t been stellar at all. We mentioned that Marseille haven´t beaten an English side in the CL for 12 years, but what´s even more shocking is the fact that the Spurs have never beaten a French team away from home in Europe.
Ahead of today´s game, the key could be Tottenham´s massive comeback win against Bournemout last Saturday. From 0:2 to 3:2 in stoppage time, which was their first win after more than two weeks.
The bad news is that Tottenham will have to travel to Provence without their gaffer Antonio Conte. His suspension was the epilogue of the dramatic ending of their previous CL clash against Sporting, when Conte completely lost control after Harry Kane´s late game-winner was disallowed.
Marseille vs. Tottenham Prediction
Having in mind the importance of this game, it´s safe to say one could cut the tension with a knife tonight at Velodrome.
Marseille have to go all out, but in our opinion it´s very risky to predict the winner. Even though the hosts have to win and start the game with an offensive mindset, we opted for the Asian Total Under. Both clubs are going through minor defensive crises, but today´s game is special and shouldn´t produce more than 2.5 goals.
Tottenham would be more than happy with a draw, so the Asian 2.75 under line seems like a very solid value option.
