Eintracht Frankfurt vs Marseille prediction: EUROPE: Champions League – Group Stage betting tips on match 2022-10-25 19:00.
Itās all to play for in the final two games in UEFA Champions League (UCL) Group D, with just three points separating the four sides meaning that nothing is off the table. Eintracht Frankfurt sit bottom of the pile with four points, but hold the necessary form to trouble the group having scored a whopping ten goals since losing 3-2 against Spurs in the last UCL round (W3). The Germans must avoid defeat here however, as losing would see their prospects of progression to the UCL knockout rounds on their group stage debut melt away entirely.
The reverse fixture produced a little slice of history for Frankfurt though, with a 1-0 win over Marseille seeing the Eagles score their first goal and notch their first ever win in the UCL proper. Perhaps boosting confidence of completing the double is Frankfurtās impressive competitive record against French opponents (W8, D1, L3), which includes three wins against the Olympians!
In contrast to their hosts, Marseille have lost back-to-back domestic games since beating Sporting Lisbon 2-0 in their last European affair. Marseille boss Igor Tudor stated that āfootball is unfairā after a 1-0 defeat against Lens then extended their wait to score a goal to over three hours last time out, but the French side now have the chance to wreak their own form of justice, as victory here, combined with Spurs winning their own tie against Sporting, will see them through to the round of 16.
A mere 29% win-rate against German opponents isnāt likely to inspire much confidence (W6, D3, L12), although travelling to Germany may bring forth fond memories amongst Marseille fans of a certain age as their side won the inaugural edition of the UCL on German soil back in 1993 with a 1-0 win over AC Milan! Fast forward to the modern day, and Marseille are seeking to end a rotten run of five straight defeats āto nilā when playing in Germany.
Players to watch: Randal Kolo Muani has scored the decisive winning goal in two of Frankfurtās last three games, though Marseille are in a minority of Ligue 1 sides that he failed to score against during his stint with Nantes. Trying to outdo him will be Marseilleās Alexis SĆ”nchez, the veteran forward who contributed to three of their last six UCL goals (G2, A1).
Hot streak: None of Marseilleās last 22 UCL games ended level (W5, L17).
