Marseille vs Liverpool Tips, Predictions & Latest Odds
Marseille head into matchday seven sitting three points clear inside the top 24 after putting together impressive back-to-back wins against Newcastle and Royale Union Saint-Gilloise — but Liverpool are expected to be a step up in difficulty.
That latter success was a milestone moment, marking the Phocaeans’ 50th victory in this competition, and they now have a chance to record three consecutive Champions League wins for the first time since 2010.
Marseille vs Liverpool Tips
Roberto De Zerbi’s side look well placed to do just that, having followed up those European results with two emphatic domestic victories, racking up an astonishing 14 goals along the way.
Their resilience at home also stands out, with just two defeats on their own patch in all competitions this season.
Liverpool arrive with the aim of keeping pace in the race for a top-eight finish, starting the round level on points with the three teams directly above them.
The Reds claimed a 16th win from their last 19 Champions League group/league phase matches by edging past last season’s finalists Inter 1-0 in their previous European outing. That result also extended an impressive away record in the competition, with 14 wins from their last 18 European road trips.
However, Arne Slot’s men have struggled to convert performances into victories of late, drawing four of their last five matches, including a disappointing 1-1 home draw with relegation-threatened Burnley on Saturday.
Let’s take a look at the best football tips for Wednesday night’s clash at the Orange Velodrome:
Tip 1: Liverpool to win and BTTS at 12/5 with bet365
Liverpool may have stopped losing games, but they are finding it increasingly hard to win them.
After a sloppy autumn, Arne Slot’s side have now battened down the hatches in defence and conceding fewer goals, but that has come at a price in the final third of the pitch.
But Europe often offers a safer haven for Liverpool than the Premier League, where the Reds have drawn their last four matches including two 0-0s.
Marseille have conceded seven in their last five Ligue 1 matches as well as eight in six Champions League outings, and Liverpool should be able to lean on the magic of their European nights to get over the line in Marseille.Â
Tip 2: Hugo Ekitike to score first at 24/5 with William Hill
Hugo Ekitike has been one of the real bright sparks for Liverpool this season.
He has bagged 12 in all competitions for the Reds since his summer move from Frankfurt and is establishing himself as the man to lead Liverpool’s line in the absence of Alexander Isak.
He cut a frustrated figure against Burnley at the weekend but was bright enough in periods to suggest that he is chomping at the bit to return to the goal sheet.
The Frenchman will be looking to prove a point in Marseille and 24/5 for him to bag the opener is attractive.
Tip 3: Score from Outside the Box - Mason Greenwood at 12/1 with bet365
Speaking of players that will be looking to prove a point… enter Mason Greenwood.
The disgraced former Manchester United winger has been living it up in Marseille since his move from Getafe in 2024, scoring 33 Ligue 1 goals in an electric season-and-a-half.
With British eyes on the 24-year-old expect him to try a few things to grab the headlines — namely striking from distance against a nervy Liverpool defence.
Greenwood has scored some eye-catching goals in France over the last 18 months, and 12/1 says he can add to that list on Wednesday.
