Marseille vs Liverpool is in the limelight of the league stage of the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday Night when two European giants take the stage in a decisive Matchday 7 match. It will take place in the Orange Vélodrome in Marseille, and the match will kick off at 8:00 PM GMT with a rigorous home atmosphere.
This game is important this year with the new extended version of the Champions League system, where the points in the leagues have a direct impact on the mode of qualification. Each is straining to secure a spot in the round of 16 or at least a spot in the play-offs of the knockout in the final stages. Marseille heads to the competition with 9 points after six games, which is in the middle of the league phase table.
With the leadership of Roberto De Zerbi, the French team has not only integrated domestic confidence and European aggression but also focused on it, particularly at home.
The Ligue 1 club comes having had a very good domestic performance at the weekend and had an excellent scoring streak during the past few weeks. Their campaign in the Champions League has been quite sporadic, yet domestic wins and an exciting attacking style have seen qualification in their grasp.
Liverpool is going to southern France in a better European position, which has about twelve points out of six games. The English team, run by Arne Slot, has not won any competitions in recent weeks; however, a series of draws in the league led to criticism.
The visitors have also brought back their international Mohamed Salah, which adds strength to their squad before this intensive away game. Absences through injury have not disappeared, yet the Champions League form of Liverpool has provided vital victories over high-quality adversaries earlier in the season.
Traditionally, Liverpool have been at an advantage in the encounter since they have won three out of their four encounters with the Champions League. Their previous competition visit to Marseille was successful, and it is a record that gives the away team silent confidence.
The match against Wednesday will be refereed by Slavko Vinčic, and additional security is guaranteed because of the magnitude of the event. The number of travelling supporters who will be inside the Orange Velo stadium is estimated to be around 3,300 people, which will only increase the intensity of the evening.
The outcome of Marseille vs Liverpool will have a direct impact on the European destiny of the two clubs ahead of the last matches in the leagues.
