Marseille vs Manchester City Team News
Playing ever so well last season, Marseille played second-fiddle to eventual Ligue 1 champions Paris-Saint Germain all through the term. Amassing a whopping 56 points from 28 games, the Olympians clinched second-spot on the log.Though Villas-Boas’ men were magnificent, relative to PSG’s gargantuan records, Marseille’s numbers looked rather inconsequential in the end. The Phocaeans haven’t had a taste of league success in a while, no thanks to the Parisians’ Ligue 1 dominance over the years.
They opened their Champions League account disappointingly, succumbing to a narrow Olympiacos defeat last week. Despite being the better side, profligacy in the final-third cost Marseille dearly as they relinquished all three points to their Greek counterparts.
A team they were expected to dispatch comfortably, the Olympians will be disheartened by the outcome of the fixture. It is still early days, and with a lot of European games coming up, Marseille still have a chance of turning their fortunes around, starting with a result versus Man City.
Guardiola’s men have been disgraceful in the Premier League this season, sitting in the bottom-half of the standings after five games. Still yet to get in their groove, the Citizens have picked up a measly eight points so far – much to the dismay of the club supporters.
In fact, rumors making the rounds in England suggest Guardiola’s job may be on the line, if he doesn’t manage to steady the wavering City ship. For all their domestic struggles, the Sky Blues eased to victory in their opening Champions League fixture.
Taking on Portuguese side FC Porto, Manchester City came from behind to record an emphatic 3-1 victory to rise to the summit. Aguero registering his first goal of the season in that game, City will hope the Argentine can kick on to rediscover his best form soon enough.

Marseille vs Man City Predictions
The fixture list is pretty unrelenting, with most top teams featuring in no less than two games every week. City are without squad depth as many of their key players remain injured or fatigued. The likes of Aguero and De Bruyne are unlikely to be fully fit for this fixture.Marseille know they stand a decent chance of grabbing a result here, given City’s fitness crisis. However, it may be too much an ask for these ones to upstage Guardiola’s men. The safest punt will be a double chance backing the visiting contingent for the win.
