Prediction and Prediction for Benfica x Marseille – Both teams are looking for recovery
Benfica and Marseille are not having a great time this season, and need a recovery, the Benfica team, despite the bad moment, will have the support of the fans, and playing at home, the team has 7 wins in the last 10 matches played, however, the Marseille team needs to respond after 4 consecutive defeats, and they should go all out as well, so my bet is on goals, for both teams to score in the match.
