Marseille vs Lazio Prediction
Both managers have opted for a cautious approach in Europe so far, so a low-scoring affair is on the cards. Marseille will be desperate for a win, as a loss or even a draw could end their campaign in Europe.
Lazio have been highly inconsistent this season but should be able to leave France with a point.
Prediction: Marseille 1-1 Lazio
