The Stade Vélodrome sees Marseille welcome Liverpool on Wednesday evening, with kick-off scheduled for 8pm. Big names, big crowd, and plenty riding on it. Both sides are chasing momentum in the Champions League, and this Marseille vs Liverpool prediction digs into team news, likely lineups, how they match up, and where the smart betting angles might sit.

Marseille vs Liverpool Team News

Let’s start with the hosts. Marseille, managed by Roberto De Zerbi, are flying domestically in Ligue 1 when it comes to attacking output. They play fast, they take risks, and they don’t sit back. Mason Greenwood, still only 24 and playing his football in France now, has been central to that threat. He drifts inside, shoots early, and doesn’t hesitate.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is still leading the line at 36. Experience matters in games like this. He knows how to manage moments, slow things down, or spin in behind when you least expect it. Igor Paixão offers pace from wide areas, while Matt O’Riley and Pierre-Emile Højbjerg bring balance in midfield.

In terms of absences, Marseille won’t rush Nayef Aguerd back after his international duty. Derek Cornelius and Ruben Blanco remain sidelined, while Bilal Nadir’s late knock isn’t expected to keep him out.

Liverpool arrive with their own storylines. Arne Slot is still adjusting to life in England, managing the reigning Premier League champions. Dominik Szoboszlai continues to be vital. He’s the main penalty taker and usually the go-to for direct free-kicks too. When Liverpool need control or a moment of quality, he’s the one they look for.

Mohamed Salah’s situation hangs over the game. At 33, fresh off international duty with Egypt, it’s unclear whether he starts or even features. Slot may manage his minutes carefully. Alexander Isak remains out with injury, while Conor Bradley and Giovanni Leoni are also unavailable. The rest of the squad looks healthy, though, with Alexis Mac Allister likely to bring energy into midfield.

Likely Lineups

Marseille should stick to what’s been working. Expect Gerónimo Rulli in goal. A back line of Murillo, Balerdi, Medina, and Emerson. Midfield likely sees O’Riley and Højbjerg anchoring things. Out wide, Timothy Weah and Paixão offer speed, Greenwood floats centrally, and Aubameyang leads the line.

Liverpool’s shape feels familiar. Alisson in goal. Frimpong and Robertson pushing on from full-back, Konaté and Van Dijk holding firm centrally. Mac Allister alongside Gravenberch in midfield. Ahead of them, Szoboszlai, Florian Wirtz, and Cody Gakpo supporting Hugo Ekitike up front.

Marseille vs Liverpool Betting Tips

This feels like one of those games where both teams back themselves to score. Marseille won’t shut up shop. Liverpool won’t either. Neither side benefits from playing it safe here. Set-pieces could matter too, especially with Szoboszlai’s delivery and Marseille’s physical presence.
