Galatasaray vs Marseille: The French club badly needs a win

Galatasaray will take on Marseille in the fifth leg of the Europa League group stage. Let’s analyze the teams’ form and pick the best side to bet on. We have several options to bet on!

Galatasaray

Galatasaray have been performing magnificently in the Europa League. The team started with a 1-0 home win over Lazio and then drew with Marseille away (0-0). The Turkish club then battled Lokomotiv twice. First, they defeated the railroaders in Moscow (1-0), but the opponents demurred in Istanbul (0-0). Galatasaray are top of Group E with eight points, three ahead of Lazio.

Marseille

For their part, Marseille are not performing as well. In four games, they drew four times, 1-1 with Lokomotiv, 0-0 with Galatasaray, 0-0, and 2-2 with Lazio. Therefore, the French club is in third place with four points, and they need a win today. Otherwise, Marseille risk qualifying for the Conference League and staying out of the European spring.

Expert Betting Tips

Both teams have yet to lose in this Europa League draw, and Marseille have yet to win at all. Galatasaray are good, especially in Istanbul, but in the second leg against Lokomotiv, we saw that they are weak. And Loko could easily snatch victory in the final minutes. Marseille need points, and besides, for well-known reasons, they had a rest last weekend while their opponents played out a derby against Fenerbahce (1-2). We think that the combination of these factors makes the French club the favourite in the match, so we suggest betting on their victory with a zero handicap.

Betting options:

• Handicap 2 (0) for 1.80;
• W2 for 2.45;
• Correct score 1-2 for 9.00.
