Tottenham vs Marseille: prediction for the Champions League fixture
Tottenham are set to host Marseille in their UEFA Champions League opener on Wednesday, September 7. What to expect from this match? Look out for our prediction below.
Command Analysis
Tottenham Hotspur
EnglandTottenham were off to a good start in the new Premier League season. The Spurs collected 14 points in six games and currently sit in third place in the table. In their last outing, Tottenham prevailed over Fulham (2:1). Richarlison and Cristian Romero, who moved to London this summer, seem to have found their form.
In the entire history of the club, the Spurs have only once reached the final of the Champions League. That happened in 2019. Last season, Antonio Conte's men failed to qualify from their group in the Conference League, but in the end it all worked out - the Spurs focused on their Premier League campaign and secured the top-4 finish, thus getting a ticket to the Champions League.
Lucas and Gil have been ruled out of this fixture.
Marseille
FranceMarseille have enjoyed success in Ligue 1 so far. In the first six games, the club recorded five victories and one draw, which brought them 16 points. Igor Tudor's men sit right behind the current leader PSG in the standings. In the last three games, Marseille kept a clean sheet.
The club was active on the transfer market and signed a few quality players, such as Matteo Guendouzi, Pau Lopez, Jordan Veretout, Luis Suárez, and Cengiz Ünder.
In their last European campaign, Marseille couldn't qualify from the Europa League group and continued the fight for a trophy in the Conference League. They reached the semifinals, where they lost to Feyenoord (2:3 on aggregate).
