Here's our Man City vs Marseille Prediction analysis: Having already clinched top-spot in Group C of the Champions League, Manchester City will be playing for bragging rights when they lock horns with Olympique Marseille at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night.

Enjoying a brilliant run in the Champions League this season, Manchester City have garnered thirteen points from a possible fifteen to topple their qualifying section. Meanwhile, Marseille are placed at the opposite end of the log.

Far from their utmost best, Marseille have found wins very difficult to come by, and have only three points to their name after five games. With no hope of a top-two finish, there is still a chance of securing Europa League football with victory in this contest.

Manchester City vs Marseille Team News

Glancing through this Man City squad, you find that they are littered with world-class players that should be challenging for major honors in Europe. Also, with the experienced Pep Guardiola at the helm, the Citizens seem like a well-oiled machine.

However, for all their strengths, they have failed to enjoy European success in all of their long rich history. Though very successful in England, Guardiola’s men aren’t the same formidable side on the continent.

Club supporters continue to dream of a Champions League triumph and their side have another shot in the competition this season. Already off to a blistering start, Man City have booked a ticket to the knockout rounds and are unbeaten in their section.

While this upcoming game versus Marseille doesn’t exactly hold much importance for the Citizens, they will fancy their chances of finishing their CL group run with a 100% unbeaten record. It goes without saying that it would be a good look on them.

Coming up against a desperate Marseille side in midweek, Man City will have their work cut-out to bag all three points. The French side are enduring a difficult campaign, and rooted to the bottom of the log with only one win of note.

As a top-two finish is already out of reach, the Olympians will, instead, set their sights on leapfrogging Olympiacos into third-place to gain a back-door entry into the Europa League Round-of-32. However, it won’t be easy to pull this off.

For matchday six to end up a success for Marseille, they will need to defeat this strong Man City side, while counting on Porto to dispatch Olympiacos in their own clash. As kickoff draws nearer, the Olympians will focus on upsetting Man City to stand a good chance of climbing up the ladder.

Man City vs Marseille Predictions

Given the hosts have absolutely nothing to play for, Guardiola may decide to give his fringe players a run-out in this fixture. It is important these Man City lads get some minutes under their belt as we approach the busy Christmas schedule in the Premier League.

With this, Marseille stand a chance of squeezing out a positive result. Still, we have reason to believe the Olympians won’t be a match for City, even their second-string squad. As such, count on the Citizens to secure all three points to end their group stage campaign unbeaten.
