Real Madrid vs Marseille Prediction & Betting Tips (16 September)

The most successful club in the history of the competition with 15 units, Real Madrid has a revenge to take in the past season. Not even in the top 8 at the end of the league phase, the Merengue had to work in the dam to access the knockout stages of the competition before finally taking the door in 1/4 finals against a low arsenal on the merits. From now on, a new era seems to have landed in the Valdebebas offices with the appointment of Xabi Alonso at the head of the first team but also positive recruits, especially defensively. At the start of the championship, injured by the domination of FC Barcelona on the national scene last year, Real Madrid won its first 3 games before the international break by beating Osasuna 1-0, Real Oviedo 0-3 and Mallorca 2-1. Last weekend, the Madrilenians challenged Real Sociedad in the Antre of Anoeta Arena Result to follow. Vainquer of the Champions League in 1993 against AC Milan, Olympique de Marseille found the Cup with big ears after its last participation during the 2022-23 season where 2 victories were gleaned in the old-format chicken phase.

A return expected by supporters who will be a priori numerous in the Spanish capital this evening. To evoke the start of the OM season, it is worthy of a soap opera. Authors of a quality transfer window, the Olympians left confident during the 1st day of Ligue 1 but finally returned to Earth, losing in numerical superiority at Rennes 1-0. Subsequently, scuffles took place between certain players Rabiot / Rowe, which led to their departures and therefore last minute actions on the transfer market. Last weekend, Marseille welcomed Lorient at the Vélodrome to correct the shot of the defeat that occurred in the shock with Lyon 1-0. 

This summer, by appointing Xabi Alonso, Real Madrid experienced a breath of fresh air. After Benzema, Casemiro or Ramos and Kroos, it was Luka Modric (6 champions league won) who took the door this summer (Milan AC). Lucas Vazquez has also changed air by signing in Leverkusen (no contract extension proposed). In the direction of arrivals, Dean Huijsen (Bournemouth), Franco Mastantuono (River Plate), Carreras (Benfica) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool) signed. All have become holders, including Carreras or Huijsen. Back in training with the group Camavonga could be able today unlike Jude Bellingham, also returning to training but announced ready only from the Madrid derby against Atlético at the end of the month. The side Ferland Mendy continues injuries and is not able today, just like Rüdiger, again injured seriously.

The porter replacing Lunin returned injured in the international break without even playing the slightest minute. Before evoking the absences for Roberto de Zerbi, let's talk about non -registered players: Harit, Maupay, Garcia and Lirola. Wounded before the international break, the offensive Peaceão recruit, the defender Medina also arrived at the Commandery this summer and the versatile Kondogbia (defender or midfield) resumed training and applied to a return last Friday against Lorient. Back in the south of France, Aubameyang, scorer in Bernabéu with Barça there are a few seasons, will be keen to show himself if playing time has given him. Elements like Greenwood, Höjbjerg, Balerdi or the Angel Gomes recruits (Lille), Pavard (Inter Milan) and potentially Aguerd all contribute to a holder spot.
