Liverpool vs. Marseille Prediction & Odds: Champions League Betting Preview for Jan. 21
The winner of this match will inch closer to automatic qualification to the Round of 16 as I offer my Liverpool vs. Marseille prediction.
The Reds are the -102 betting favorite to take all three points in today's match at Stade Velodrome in Marseille, France (3 p.m. ET, Paramount+). Despite several disappointing draws, Liverpool carries an extended unbeaten run into the match. Marseille, meanwhile, lost two of the previous four in all competitions.

Liverpool ML (-102) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Liverpool is among the Champions League odds contenders and enters on a 12-match unbeaten run in all competitions. While the Reds haven't played up to their potential domestically, with a disappointing 1-1 home draw against Burnley as the latest result, they won at the San Siro against Inter Milan in the previous Champions League match.
Slot's side won the previous two on the road in the Champions League and will be confident in scoring against a Marseille side that has conceded at least one in all but one of six in the competition.
Marseille is excellent at home but lost 1-0 to Atalanta. I expect the Reds to emulate that blueprint.
Score prediction: Liverpool 2, Marseille 1

Hugo Ekitike, F, Liverpool (+115) ⭐⭐⭐
With Alexander Isak unavailable and Mo Salah just returning from the African Cup of Nations, Ekitike represents the best goal-scorer pick for today's match. However, he's scored only one goal in six Champions League matches.
It's unclear whether Salah or Ekitike will start, but I expect the latter to be on the pitch from kickoff. With Marseille allowing eight goals in six matches, the 23-year-old should have at least one Grade A scoring opportunity.
