Marseille vs Eintracht Prediction: the Provençal Side to Entertain the Crowd

Prediction for the UCL Marseille vs Eintracht group stage match, which will take place on September 13. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Marseille got off to a great start to the new season. In seven Ligue 1 rounds, the Provençal side has claimed six victories with only one draw, occupying the second line in the standings with 19 points. However, Igor Tudor's charges lost away to Tottenham 0:2 in the first round of the UCL group stage. By and large, it was Chancel Mbemba's 47th-minute sending-off that broke the game. Then, in the 76th and 81st minutes, Marseille conceded two goals.

Eintracht looked depressing in the new season. The team had only two wins within eight matches, two ties, and four losses. The reigning Europa League champion at the international level lost to Real Madrid (0:2) in the UEFA Super Cup. Last week they also played horribly with Sporting in the first round of the Champions League group stage. Much fancied Eintracht lost to the Portuguese team at home with a score of 0:3, although they held on without conceding a goal until the 65th minute.

Bookmakers believe Marseille is the favorite of the upcoming game, and we agree with them. The Provençal side is steadily earning points in Ligue 1, and in Round 1 of the UCL group stage, they fought decently with Tottenham on the road - they were let down by a rather early suspension. Eintracht is not at all impressive in the new season, and the shameful 0:3 home draw with Sporting confirms that. We think the hosts will entertain the crowd and earn three points. Prediction: Marseille to win.
