THE PREDICTION

Marseille have disappointed across the group stage, losing both their matches played without scoring a single goal. If that doesn’t change here vs Sporting CP, then any hopes of knockout qualification will already be all but over. However, they face a team full of confidence with momentum sky high among their dressing room as they sit top of Group D with six points from a possible six. Breaking down Ruben Amorim’s well-drilled side is likely to prove a tough order for the hosts and Sporting CP contain pace and trickery in abundance going forward which could well see them afforded joy on the counter-attack and Marseille look to throw players forward. Therefore, the smart play here is to back Sporting CP to gain at least a point from this game, if not all three via the double chance market.
