Our prediction for this Champions League match:
There will be fireworks when Olympique Marseille and Eintracht Frankfurt face each other at Stade Velodrome on Tuesday evening. OM suffered a 2-0 loss to Tottenham in their Champions League opener, but their display in London was anything but poor. Igor Tudor’s men have regained confidence thanks to a 2-1 win over Lille, and it is no wonder the odds for home triumph have been dropping.
Chancel Mbemba is banned for the match, while both Cedric Bakambu and Bamba Dieng are ineligible to face die Adler. Alexis Sanchez is back from suspension. Eintracht, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss to Sporting, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. All Almamy Toure, Aurelio Buta, and Christopher Lenz are sidelined with injuries, while both Jerome Onguene and Sebastian Rode are major doubts.
