Marseille looking for their first win of the campaign

Marseille are having a fine season so far both domestically and in Europe. On the positive side, the Olympiens are undefeated in the UEL this season. However, Sampaoli’s side need a win to raise their chances of qualifying for the knockout stages.  Moreover, as they host Lazio, the French side are winless in their last three meetings with the Italians.

Surely Sampaoli will count on his team’s fine form at home this season. In fact, Marseille suffered just one defeat at the Velodrome this season and conceded on average one goal per game in seven. Also, having clean sheets against teams like PSG and Galatasaray means Sampaoli was able to find an effective defensive strategy for his team. Oddensively as well with an average of 2.7 goals in the last five home games, Marseille have a reliable attack.

Lazio will be delighted with a draw 

Inconsistency is the main headline for Lazio’s season so far. To point out, the Biancocelesti started their UEL campaign with a loss to Galatasaray. However, Sarri’s men bounced back with a convincing win over Lokomotiv Moscow. Now as they travel to Marseille they aim to at least get a similar result as they did in Rome with the French side which was a 0-0 draw. 

A point would keep Lazio in second place and above Marseille with two matches left. Not to mention, Lazio won just one away game this season on the opening day of the Serie A in Empoli. Since then Sarri’s team had some big defeats and lost four of their last six road trips. As a result, Sarri will ensure to avoid defeat at all costs in this game and maintain the second spot.

Marseille vs Lazio Prediction

As we enter the second half of the group stage matches, stakes are high as Marseille and Lazio want to finish in the top two. Surely both teams are of equal level despite Marseille’s results are better in their domestic league.

For that reason, Marseille are the favorites to win but with high odds of 2.24 at Vbet. Certainly, it is risky to bet on a Marseille win since Lazio are not an easy team and will fight for a point.

Looking at the total goals market, Marseille’s last four games saw under 2.5 goals. Also, Lazio’s two of their last four games saw the same amount of goals. In addition, considering the importance of the game both Sampaoli and Sarri will focus on their defense not to lose the game.

To conclude, we think we may see another low-scoring game between these two clubs. Thus we will back to see under three goals in this game.
