Tottenham vs Marseille Betting Tips

Ex-Arsenal players could give Tottenham headaches

This Champions League matchup may have a low-key London Derby feel due to the presence of ex-Arsenal footballers Alexis Sánchez, Mattéo Guendouzi, Sead Kolašinac, and Nuno Tavares on the Marseille roster.

The French side are in great form entering the match with Tottenham and has a roster well-equipped to handle a Premier League style of play. Sánchez has scored three goals against Spurs in his career, all occurring in London.

Look for Harry Kane to shine (and score)

Totteham’s star striker Harry Kane has 23 goal involvements in 24 Champions League appearances, carrying a 104.4 minutes-per-goal-ratio. Only Manchester City’s Erling Haaland, former German striker Mario Gómez, and Lionel Messi have outperformed Kane in this area.

The 29-year-old has already netted four goals for the Spurs through five Premier League matches this season and is in prime form to make an impact against Marseille.

Tottenham vs Marseille Prediction

Tottenham 2-1 Marseille

I expect this match to be much closer than expected. Marseille enters the game playing quality football and has an experienced roster that should be able to rise to the occasion.

Spurs have won 44% of their matches in the Champions League, the lowest ratio of any English club with at least 20 games in the competition. In fact, Tottenham has secured a victory in only one of their five previous games on matchday one in the group stage.

There is a genuine possibility of an upset in this match. However, Antonio Conte’s potent attack led by Kane, Son Heung-Min, Dejan Kulusevski, and Richarlison will prove too overwhelming for the French side.

As mentioned above, there is not much profit to be made if you are betting on Tottenham to pull out a victory. You could make a Multiple Correct Score wager (2:1, 3:1, or 4:1) at (+333), but this does not seem like a great value.

In fact, even though I predict a Tottenham win, a wager on a straight Marseille victory at (+575) does not seem like the worst idea, with a Multiple Correct Score of 1:2, 3:1, or 4:1 coming in at (+1100).
