Marseille vs Panathinaikos Predictions

• Panathinaikos will set up to defend after winning the first leg 1-0
• Under 2.5 goals has been a winning bet in six of the Greek side’s last seven away games.
• Marseille have only scored more than one goal in two of their last seven games.

Finely poised ahead of Velodrome clash

Marseille have plenty of work to do on Tuesday to keep their Champions League dream alive as they trail Panathinaikos 1-0 after the first leg in Greece.

L’OM did manage to fight back from 1-0 down to beat Reims 2-1 in their league opener, but they face a strong defensive unit in midweek and could be in for a difficult evening.

Unders looks a strong option

Under 2.5 goals looks a good option here as Panathinaikos will look to keep this game as tight as possible for as long as possible as they attempt to defend their slender advantage.

There have been fewer than three goals scored in six of Panathinaikos’ last seven away games and they have only conceded five goals in total across their last 11 away from home – keeping six clean sheets.

Marseille have found goals hard to come by recently and look a little light in attack, despite the summer signing of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

L’OM have only scored more than one goal in two of their last seven games, so this has all the makings of a low scoring encounter.

A 1-0 win for the French side is the correct score prediction as Marseille are a threat at the Velodrome and have won four of their last five at this venue, so they can fight their way back into this tie and force extra time with a narrow win.
