Marseille vs Liverpool picks and predictions
My Marseille vs Liverpool best bet: Over 3.5 goals (+145 at Sports Interaction)
Under former Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi, Marseille are beautiful to watch but sometimes inconsistent.
They now sit 16th in the Champions League table, three points behind Liverpool, who are ninth. Marseille have a small chance to reach the Round of 16 directly, and a win is a must on Wednesday if they're to stand any chance of qualifying directly.
Marseille are on a run of 30 UCL games without a draw, while Liverpool haven't drawn any of their last 27 (won 19, lost eight). These two play for goals, and their track in the competition shows it.
Over six Champions League games, both Marseille's and Liverpool's fixtures have averaged 3.16 goals. I'll happily take Over 3.5 at plus money.

Marseille vs Liverpool same-game parlay (SGP)
Over 3.5 goals
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 1+ shot on target
Florian Wirtz 1+ shot on target
Marseille to have more corners
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has scored 13 goals on the European stage for Marseille, hitting the net three times in the UEFA Champions League this term and 10 more in the 2023-24 UEFA Europa League.
Florian Wirtz has been delivering below what was expected from him this season. But against an open side like Marseille, he can show his quality. I believe he'll look to have an impact at the Velodrome in order to convince the Liverpool supporters his current stats are just a slow start and not a dimension of his real worth.
Marseille have thrilling wide players, and I think there should be context for many corners in this game.
