Liverpool Searching for Momentum
Arne Slot’s side remain unbeaten in 10 Premier League matches but four straight draws have stalled their progress. Their 1-1 draw with Burnley summed up recent frustrations — control without killer instinct. Still, Liverpool sit fourth domestically and ninth in the Champions League table, outside the top eight only on goal difference.
Their late 1-0 win at Inter Milan in the last European round steadied nerves after a 1-4 home defeat to PSV. That result highlighted both their resilience and inconsistency — capable of brilliance one week and lethargy the next.
In Europe, Dominik Szoboszlai has been their key man. The Hungarian has three goals and three assists from six Champions League outings, contributing in five of them. His creativity and set-piece threat make him a strong candidate to deliver again in France.

Marseille Hoping to Close the Gap
Roberto De Zerbi’s Marseille remain in Ligue 1’s top three despite inconsistency, sitting seven points off PSG after a 5-2 win over Angers. In Europe, they’ve kept their qualification hopes alive with back-to-back wins over Newcastle United and Union Saint-Gilloise.
Their matches have been entertaining under De Zerbi, averaging 3.17 goals per game in this competition, with Over 2.5 landing in five of six fixtures. Marseille’s pressing style encourages chances at both ends — they’ve scored 11 and conceded 10 across their six matches.
Defensive discipline remains a concern. Marseille have managed just one clean sheet in Europe, leaving them vulnerable against Liverpool’s movement and pace, even if Mo Salah’s availability remains uncertain.

Head-to-Head: Reds Hold the Edge
Liverpool have dominated recent meetings, winning three straight against Marseille, including both previous visits to the Vélodrome. The French side did famously win at Anfield in 2007, but history and form point towards a goal-heavy encounter here.
Player to Watch: Dominik Szoboszlai
Szoboszlai’s direct running and clinical set-pieces have become a hallmark of Liverpool’s European campaign. Against a Marseille defense that leaves space between the lines, the Hungarian’s ability to shoot early and thread passes could prove decisive.
