The biggest game of the year thus far for Liverpool as they take on Marseille. Liverpool need a win, Marseille only need a draw. I exepct Liverpool to bring the heat on Marseille early on. Fernando Torres will start, after some speculation he could miss out due to a mild injury he received in the game agaisnt Reading. And don't let that Reading game fool you, Liverpool were looking well ahead of that game. They played a weak lineup and a bad formation, plus Benitez was pulling off his best players early in the second half so they could be fit for todays game against Marseille.
PICK: Liverpool -0.5 (10 units)
Predicted score: 2-1 Liverpool
Marseille didn't try very hard. The way they opened it up in the back right from the start, on the right side of their defense, -with even the Liverpool goalkeeper reaching his attacker without any problem!-, looked suspicious. The penalty in the opening minutes was already the third easy break in that part of the field.
