Marseille vs Liverpool

Marseille hosts Liverpool in the league phase of the UEFA Champions League, with both teams in the mix for automatic promotion and the playoffs.

The Reds are closer to the automatic places, but their recent performances have been unconvincing, while the French side are showing some good form. Both teams often struggle to keep things tight at the back and could be set to serve up goals.

Marseille News

Marseille are in the mix for the playoffs after claiming three wins and suffering as many defeats in their six league phase matches so far. Roberto De Zerbi's team eased to a 3-2 victory at Union Saint-Gilloise in their previous fixture.

The French side’s overall form has been solid lately and are unbeaten in eight of their last 10 matches across all competitions, earning a 5-2 win at Angers last weekend. They are also unbeaten in eight of their last 10 home matches across all competitions.

The win over Angers highlights Marseille’s attacking quality, having scored in eight of their last 10 matches, with seven of those fixtures producing over 2.5 goals. There have also been over 1.5 second-half goals in four of their last five matches, while the hosts are without a clean sheet in three of their last four home games.

Liverpool News

Liverpool have picked up four wins from six league phase matches and are only outside the automatic qualification places on goal difference. They picked up a 1-0 victory at Inter Milan in their previous fixture.

The Reds are unbeaten in their last 10 matches across all competitions, drawing four of the last five, including a 1-1 home scoreline with Burnley last weekend. Arne Slot's team have also claimed three wins and as many draws in their last six away matches.

Liverpool often struggle to keep things tight at the back and are without a clean sheet in seven of their last 10 away matches, with all seven fixtures producing over 2.5 goals. However, they have scored in eight of their last 10 away matches, while four of their last six fixtures on the road have also offered up over 1.5 second-half goals.

Head to Head

Liverpool have three wins while Marseille have picked up two victories, with one draw from six previous matches. The last meeting was a Champions League group stage clash in 2008, with the Reds claiming a 1-0 home victory.

Verdict

Marseille v Liverpool

Marxeille and Liverpool have been unconvincing at the back lately, and both teams are expected to score here. With seven of the French side's last 10 matches producing over 2.5 goals, a repeat is on the cards.

Both teams often play out games, with a glut of second-half goals, and Wednesday's clash could be set to follow a similar pattern.
