Marseille Bayern Munich Odds : Deschamps eyes Champions League first leg lead as Ribery returns to Stade Velodrome
Bayern Munich will be brimming with confidence going into their Champions’ League quarter-final with Marseille on Wednesday night, despite Bet365 announcing that Marseille are getting plenty of support from punters at 3/1.
The German giants hammered Basel 7-0 in the second leg of the previous round and will be keen to get off to a good start in this one.
Jupp Heynckes’ men find themselves in imperious form right now, and will still have hopes of winning the Bundesliga, despite trailing Borussia Dortmund by five points. However, their attentions will now turn to Europe.

Marseille, on the other hand, have suffered something of a slump of late, and are now eight games without a win. That run of form has seen them drop to eighth place in the French Ligue 1 table and they will be hoping a change of competition will see them snap out of that.

They will surely take confidence from the fact that they upset the odds in the last round to knock out the 2010 winners, Inter Milan over the two legs. Furthermore, they simply have to take one look at the calibre of teams they have progressed further than in this year’s competition.
One player who Marseille will have to do without is goalkeeper, Steve Mandanda. He picked up a red card in the last round and will miss out here. Gennaro Bracigliano is likely to replace him in the starting line-up.
Bayern Munich are unlikely to make too many changes to their starting line-up, with the prolific Mario Gomez once again expected to lead the line. Arjen Robben and Thomas Muller are both likely to start, while Franck Ribery is set to face his former club.
With the chance to progress to the semi-final of the Champions’ League at stake, both these sides will be keen to make an impression in the first leg. It is all set to be a thrilling night of top European football.
