Marseille vs Tottenham Recent Form
Olympique Marseille enters this matchup in a very bad form. They haven’t won in their last four outings, counting the most recent Champions League game against Eintracht, which ended 2:1 in favour of Die Adler. Marseille has lost three in a row and finally managed to break that unfavourable run with a draw against Strasbourg.
Les Phoceens started the game against Strasbourg quite well. They were leading by 2:0 after 35 minutes of gameplay, thanks to goals from Dieng and Kabore. But it all broke down in the second half. First, Lebogang Mothiba got one back for the visiting side in the 76th minute of the game. Finally, the former French international, Kevin Gameiro, scored the goal that will tie things level mere seconds before the final whistle.
Tottenham was on a similar streak of bad results. But they managed to overturn things in their most recent matchup with a win. After going through two losses and a draw, the Spurs earned three massive points by defeating Bournemouth away by 3:2.
The Cherries were up 2:0 thanks to a brace from Kieffer Moore after only 49 minutes of play. But the Totts continued to press on and managed to bring the score levels thanks to goals from wingers Ryan Sessegnon and Ben Davies. But it was the sub, Rodrigo Bentancur, who scored the winning goal for the Spurs and he did it in the dying seconds of the game.
Marseille vs Tottenham Recent Matchups
This is only the second time the two teams are meeting each other. Their first and only encounter was, of course, the one played early into the season as part of Round 1 in the group stage. Tottenham started their 2022/2023 Champions League campaign with a win over Olympique Marseille by 2:0.
If that game is any indicator of the things to come, Marseille are in for a bad night. It was mainly thanks to Richarlison that the Spurs won as he scored two stunning goals to earn them the opening win of the group stage.
But according to our Marseille vs Tottenham tips, Les Olympiens have a chance to not only avenge that loss but to qualify for the next stage with a win at home.
