Marseille vs Brighton & Hove Albion Prediction

Marseille are not in a good state right now. They are 12th in the league, they have already changed managers once this season, and unrest exists between the club and the supporters. Gennaro Gattuso has been brought in to stabilize the ship, but the Italian is not known for his calm demeanor.

They drew their last game in this competition, managing a 3-3 draw against a struggling Ajax side.

Brighton & Hove Albion, on the other hand, are on the up. A dent was made in their progress a few days ago, with Aston Villa scoring six against them. But they remain one of the better-run clubs in world football, and have proven that they are a high-potential side.

Brighton & Hove Albion should have enough firepower to emerge victorious here, with Marseille not in a good position.

Prediction: Marseille 0-2 Brighton & Hove Albion
