MAN CITY VS MARSEILLE MATCH ANALYSIS
Both Man City and Porto will progress to the knock-out stage in group C and this round is only going to decide whether Marseille or Olympiacos will secure the Europa League spot. As far as Manchester City are concerned, this match is a dead rubber for them, given they have already secured the top spot with a goalless draw in Portugal last week. Pep Guardiola will want to win on Wednesday but will no doubt have one eye on the Manchester derby this weekend. Marseille, on the other hand, have had a miserable European campaign, but can still hope to continue in the Europa League after beating Olympiacos last week (2-1). In order to leapfrog the Greek side into third Marseille must better their result in midweek, which is very unlikely here.
Despite their mixed record of 4 defeats in their 9 opening Champions League group games since 2011, and being knocked out of the quarter-final by Lyon( 3-1) last time around, City have started the new CL campaign on the front foot. They made a perfect start to their 10th attempt at winning the Champions League after winning all games so far, bar the last one, scoring ten times in the process and conceding only twice. After sharing the points with Porto (0-0) last week, City are unbeaten in their last 15 games in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League (W11 D4). They have now secured progress to the Champions League knockout stages with a game to spare, as they remained above Porto and reached the last-16. Pep Guardiola has to navigate a hectic schedule for the rest of the year and is likely to rotate his side for this game.
As for Marseille, the French side is now embroiled in a battle with Olympiacos for a spot in the Europa League. The French side faces an uphill battle this week and will have to be at its best against Pep Guardiola's team. The Ligue 1 side came from behind to beat Olympiakos in their last group game, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in the Etihad Stadium showdown, having been beaten by both Olympiakos and Porto on the road earlier in the campaign. However, the most recent home match saw them win against the Greek side, which has given them a little glimmer of hope. They are doing alright in the Ligue 1, where they have suffered only one defeat, and are on a five-game winning run. They will have to replicate some of that form when they face City if they want their European campaign to continue.
