Match Preview
Despite not having Vlahovic in the domestic championship due to a suspension, Besiktas was confident against Erzurumspor, 3-0. This was the third win in a row for Vincenzo Italiano’s guys, who scored 11 goals during that span.
The Serbian striker immediately started contributing upon his arrival. In 5 games, he has scored 4 times and is the team’s top scorer. Now, with him fresh for this game, Marseille’s defense will have huge problems containing Vlahovic.
Meanwhile, Marseille is in trouble, losing the last three encounters. Apart from one win at the start of Ligue 1, vs. Strasbourg 4-0, the team from the Mediterranean lost to Monaco, 2-0, Paris FC 2-3, and Rennes 1-0.
Now, their rivals were tough, but overall, Marseille played badly. Especially on the defensive side, where they showed numerous weaknesses.
Besiktas vs. Marseille Head to Head
These teams met in the 2007 Champions League group stage. Both teams won at home, Marseille 2-0 and Besiktas 2-1.
Besiktas vs. Marseille Predictions
It will be interesting in the stands, because both teams have fierce fans. Of course, Besiktas has the edge here, as it always does. Beyond that, the Turkish team is in better form, so we pick the home team to win.
