Marseille vs Manchester City Predictions and Betting Tips
The Orange Velodrome is the stage for this Matchday two game in the UCL as Marseille and Manchester City go head-to-head. Following their opening loss to Olympiacos, the French outfit will be intent upon getting a positive result. The away side, on the other hand, will be looking to establish a healthy lead at the summit of the group. All in all, we expect a high-octane affair.
Back-to-back league win for Les Phocéens
Olympique Marseille look to have gotten past that four-game winless run in the Ligue 1 with impressive performances in their last two games. A 3-1 victory was enough to break the jinx as they finally got that first win in five games. Although they lost away at Olympiacos in the following game, the French outfit didn't let that tamper with their league form.
Villas-Boas and his troops travelled to Lorient last time out looking to make it consecutive wins in the league. A 54th-minute header from Leonardo Balerdi proved to be the only goal of the game as the away side registered a narrow 1-0 win. It is then left to see whether they can be so resolute defensively against Pep's attacking play style.
The Cityzens still in deep waters with regards to domestic performances
Pep and his boys were sublime in their opening group stage game against FC Porto. They staged an impressive comeback win as they ran out 3-1 winners. A Kun Aguero penalty, An Ilkay Gundogan free-kick and a superb goal from Ferran Torres trumped Diaz's opener with the English outfit climbing right to the top of the table.
However, the same can't be said for their domestic performances. Manchester City had dropped points twice this season prior to their visit to London to rake on West Ham. Every football fan, except the West Ham supporters, believed the away team will run riot. This is taking into account City's past few results against the London club. However, they failed to do exactly that with both teams sharing the spoils in 1-1 draw. Antonio's opener was cancelled out by Foden's leveller as City still stay at the bottom half of the table.

Marseille vs Manchester City Prediction: 1-2
Marseille will be desperate not to record two losses in two group stage games, dampening their hopes of making it to the last 16. On the other hand, Pep and his boys are known to be better in the group stage of the UCL rather than the knockout stages. As a result, we believe that Pep and his boys will overpower their opponents with a narrow win.
