Manchester City Olympique Marseille betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match will be Manchester City's triumph by a few goals. The English team must pressure the opponent from the first minutes, since they have a squad with better individual alternatives. On the other hand, Olympique Marseille has several flaws in its game model, besides not having enough weapons to fight against this opponent. Having said that and taking into account all these factors, betting in favor of Manchester City's comfortable victory is a good option.

Preview
Manchester City and Olympique Marseille meet at Etihad Stadium, in a match for this stage of the UEFA Champions League (Group Stage). Olympique Marseille registers significant differences between home and away results, so special attention is due to the home/away factor.

Analysis Man City

After 4 wins and 1 draw, the home team is currently in the 1st position, with 13 points won. In the last match, they have tied (0‑0) in an away match against Porto, after in the previous round they have won (0‑1) in an away match against Olympiakos Piraeus. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses in away matches; against 12 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses at their stadium. In their last match, for the Premier League, they got a home win against Fulham by (2‑0). In the last 10 home matches Manchester City has won 7, tied 1 and lost 2.

They haven’t lost any of the last 5 matches for this competition. Defensive consistency has been one of their best features, as they have only conceded goals in 1 of the last 5 matches, and their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 4 of the last 5 matches for this competition. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 22 of the last 24 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals and 18 out of 24 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 4 of their 15 matches, and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 20 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 6 of their 16 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

The Manchester City team enters this round with a 2-0 victory against Fulham, in a game counting for the Premier League: the goals of the team were signed by Raheem Sterling and Kevin De Bruyne. It should be noted that the English have already secured the first position in Group C. In this home match, coach Pep Guardiola should maintain a more offensive team, attacking preferably from the wings: Riyad Mahrez and Raheem Sterling are very fast and strong when finishing . On the other hand, Gabriel Jesus should maintain the more advanced position, being a very powerful player and very strong in the finishing. For this match, the home team cannot count on Sergio Agüero due to physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Zack Steffen, Eric García, Nathan Aké, Kyle Walker, Aymeric Laporte, İlkay Gündoğan, Ferrán Torres, Phil Foden, Fernandinho, Riyad Mahrez, Bernardo Silva.
Coach: J. Guardiola i Sala.

Analysis Marseille

The away team is currently in the 4th position, with 3 points won, after 1 win and 4 losses. In the penultimate round, they have lost a home match agaisnt Porto by (0‑2). In the last round, they have won a home match against Olympiakos Piraeus by (2‑1). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 9 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses in away matches, with 23 goals scored and 15 conceded; against 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 25 goals scored and 20 conceded. In their last match, for the Ligue 1, they got an away win against Nîmes by (0‑2). In the last 10 away matches Olympique Marseille has won 5, tied 1 and lost 4. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 5 matches, and their offense hasn’t been one of their best features, as they haven’t scored any goals in 4 of the last 5 matches for this competition. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 10 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 3 of their 8 goals between minutes (16'‑30').

Olympique Marseille's team starts this match with a 0-2 victory on the trip to Nîmes, in a game counting for Ligue 1: the team's goals were signed by Darío Benedetto and Valère Germain. Note that the French won the last match in the Champions League: a 2-1 win against Olympiakos. In this match against the powerful Manchester City, coach André Villas-Boas should keep the team in 4-4-2 with Valère Germain and Darío Benedetto the most advanced men.
