Marseille hosts FC Porto in round 4 of the Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, November 25th at Stade Vélodrome (Marseille)
Only three rounds of the group stage have passed, and Marseille has practically lost the chance to advance to the Champions League playoffs. The team still hasn’t a single point scored, and if it does not manage to beat Porto in the upcoming match, it is definitely not worth dreaming of progressing from the group. There is a little faith in it since Marseille could not even score a single goal. But Olympique concedes regularly. The team allowed the opponents to score as many as seven times. In the last round, Marseille played against Porto on the road. Not to say that the French played so badly there, but the match ended in a hammering 3:0 defeat. The excellent conversion of the Portuguese played a crucial role in that result. By the way, the French could not score even from a penalty spot.

According to the results of three rounds, Porto takes second place and lags three points behind Manchester City. The Dragons could hardly have dreamed of a better result. The third Olympiacos has three points, so the Portuguese club is the main contender for the second position. The predictions for the defeat of Porto have been accurate only in the away match against Manchester City. This can be called a planned defeat, especially since the Dragons showed a quite decent game in that meeting. However, the results of the other two matches were much more important in terms of the fight for the playoffs. In addition to a landslide victory over Marseille in the last round, the Dragons also beat Olympiacos at home (2-0). Nevertheless, you should pay attention to the fact that these victories were gained at home. It will be more difficult in away matches.
Marseille has huge problems with the attacking game in this season. The team has not scored a single goal in the Champions League, and the scoring in the French Championship cannot be called too high either. Porto did not allow the French club to create many attempts in the first head-to-head match. Taking into account the situation in the standings, the Portuguese will not take risks and stick their necks out since they simply don’t need it. The team will again try to play cautiously and squeeze the maximum out of those attempts that can be created in the rivals’ box. And we think the visitors will surely not allow the hosts to score more than once.
Prediction for the match: Marseille to score under 1.25 goals
