Things look to be settled in Group C of the Champions League with
Marseille in need of a miracle to qualify and that miracle would by a
victory by more than 3 goals in front of Real Madrid.
Marseille with 7 points sits one point below second AC Milan and 3
from leaders Real Madrid and as their statistic against the Spanish
giants shows 3 victories for Real in 3 matches played between the 2 with
the last one a painful 3-0 in the first game of the group stage.
Coach Didier Deschamps will only miss Julien Rodriguez and defender
Cyril Rool for this clash but with the alternating form showed these
past matches and the lack of determination due to their situation in the
competition is hard to see a positive result will emerge.
Real Madrid showing a good form on all fronts with a victory last
week in the Primera Division against Almeria managing to recover from a
1-2 deficit and finishing 4-2. They have 5 victories in the last 6
matches played, their only disappointment was El Clasico when they lost
-10 to Barcelona.
As far as the players go, midfielder Kaka was not included in the
squad, Guti, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Christoph Metzelder have also good
chances of missing this one. A good news for them is the return Lassana
Diarra after sitting one leg due to suspension.
My tip: Real Madrid to win
