• Mason Greenwood scored four goals in Marseille’s 6-2 win at the weekend

Marseille to make their point in Lisbon

Sporting CP host Marseille on Wednesday night in Matchday Three of the Champions League when the Portuguese side will be looking to bounce back from their narrow defeat in Naples.

The Lions kicked off their campaign with a Francesco Trincao-inspired 4-1 win over Kairat Almaty but fell 2-1 to Napoli at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona earlier this month despite a spirited performance.

Rui Borges’ charges warmed up for this clash with a 3-2 extra-time win over Paços Ferreira in the Taca de Portugal, extending their unbeaten run at Estadio José Alvalade.

Greenwood could be the key

But this clash with a red-hot Marseille side promised to be much tougher. Roberto De Zerbi’s side arrive in Lisbon flying high after a 6-2 demolition of Le Havre and a 4-0 win over Ajax in their last Champions League contest, although Les Phocéens need to break a losing habit on the road in this competition.

Marseille have lost 11 of their last 12 away games in the Champions League, but they could hardly in better shape to secure a rare three points outside of the Velodrome. Mason Greenwood, who scored four in their last Ligue 1 match remains their biggest goal threat and could hold the key to unlocking the hosts’ defence with his dribbling ability.

Back the visitors to pinch a 2-1 away win with the main recommendation here being Marseille in the Draw no Bet market.
