The Champions League's most successful side, Real Madrid, welcomes French giants Marseille to the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday night. Real Madrid has historically dominated this fixture over the years and, as a result, is a firm favorite of the bookies. Xabi Alonso has made an immediate impact at Real Madrid, with his team currently the only one with a perfect record in the new La Liga Season.

Real Madrid vs Marseille Match Preview
Real Madrid: form and statistics
Los Blancos have 12 points from four games in La Liga. Victories over Osasuna, Oviedo, and Mallorca before the international break were followed by a 2-1 win at Real Sociedad last weekend. The impact of Xabi Alonso is evident in that Real Madrid beat Sociedad despite being a man down following the first-half dismissal of center back Dean Huijsen, who was adjudged to have made a last-man challenge on Mikel Oyarzabal. Last season, Real Madrid had an underwhelming Champions League campaign by their standards. Finishing 11th in the league phase, they were dumped out by Arsenal in the quarterfinal. Alonso has created a strong team that is not too reliant on the big stars, with the former Bayer Leverkusen Coach not unwilling to give squad players plenty of playing time.
Real Madrid possible starting lineup
Courtois; Alexander-Arnold, Militao, Huijsen, Carreras, Valverde, Tchouameni, Mastantuono, Guler, Vinicius, Mbappe
Bet on Real Madrid vs. Marseille with Bet365Marseille: form and Statistics
Marseille have won two and lost two in their Ligue 1 start. They have been imperious at home but have failed to register an away victory so far this term. Marseille have returned to the Champions League for the first time since the 2022-23 Season. They got to the knockout stages last in 2011-12. Roberto de Zerbi’s side finished second in Ligue 1 last season to earn a Champions League spot. A mixed bag, their impressive performances during the club friendlies in the summer have not translated to league performances so far.
Marseille possible Starting lineup
Rulli; Murillo, Pavard, Aguerd, Medina, Gomes, Kondogbia, Greenwood, Nadir, Weah, Aubameyang
Real Madrid vs Marseille Match Prediction
While Real Madrid is in sensational form, Marseille has produced mixed results. They lost away to a 10-man Rennes earlier in August. And the thrashing of Lorient last weekend was also heavily affected by a 10th-minute red card. Adding all these to a solid head-to-head that favors Los Blancos, we predict Madrid to win and over 2.5.
