Marseille vs Manchester City Free Betting Tips – Champions League

After 7 years of absence in the Champions League, Marseille regained the Cup with Big Ears thanks to its 2nd place obtained last season behind PSG but ahead of Rennes, Lille and Nice. On the other hand, the start of the season for the Olympians is not ideal. Far from being convincing in the game, they were beaten at home by Saint-Etienne (0-2) before stringing together 3 fairly average draws against Lille (1-1), Metz (1-1) and Lyon ( 1-1). Subsequently, they regained a little confidence before playing their first C1 match by winning against Bordeaux (3-1). Last Wednesday, the players of André Villas-Boas offered a fairly disappointing match, especially on a technical level and were beaten at the very end of the match by Olympiakos (1-0). Also, they already find themselves in a very delicate situation in this group. Saturday, they will try to achieve a good result against Lorient in Ligue 1.

Often performing in the Champions League group stage, Manchester City encounters more difficulties when it comes to knockout matches. This summer again, the Citizen failed in the quarter-finals against Lyon (1-3) while the Gones seemed to be largely within their reach. In the league, Pep Guardiola’s men were quite ahead of Liverpool and therefore lost the title. Irregular since the start of the season, the SkyBlues were beaten by Leicester (2-5) then hooked by the promoted Leeds (1-1). But they regained confidence by winning first in front of Arsenal in the league (1-0) before gaining the upper hand over Porto when they entered the competition in C1. This weekend, they go to the West-Ham field.

The workforce for Marseille vs Manchester City

Suspended against Olympiakos, the young and precious Kamara will return for this meeting. Also, the entire Olympian workforce should be operational for this meeting. Very average against Olympiakos, Dimitri Payet and Dario Benedetto will be expected at the turn for this match. Thauvin, for his part, seemed to float a little on his right side.

For Manchester City, playing master De Bruyne and Brazilian Seleçao scorer Gabriel Jesus in the company of French defenders Mendy and Laporte who suffered physical problems last week. As against Porto, the central defence should be made up of rookie Ruben Dias associated with young Spanish Garcia. Offensively, the excellent Sterling and Aguero could start this meeting.
