Bet on Real Madrid vs Marseille

Alonso to Make it Five Wins from Five?

Xabi Alonso has won all four of his Real Madrid games, seeing off Osasuna, Real Oviedo, Mallorca, and Real Sociedad. Los Blancos have not been at their devastating best, but they are top of La Liga on 12 points.

Real are usually one of the Champions League favourites, but four clubs are available at shorter odds before a ball has been kicked this season. The record European champions are currently priced at 9.00 to win a 16^th Champions League title.

Marseille are back in UEFA’s elite club competition after finishing runners-up to Paris Saint-Germain in last term’s Ligue 1. However, they have made a mediocre start to this season, winning two and losing two of their opening four league fixtures.

After losing to Lyon before the international break, Marseille had taken just three points from a possible nine in Ligue 1. However, they returned to action last week with a thumping 4-0 home victory over Lorient. Mason Greenwood, Benjamin Pavard, Angel Gomes, and Nayef Aguerd got the goals in the rout.

Real Madrid vs Marseille Betting Odds

Real Madrid are always favourites on home soil, and Los Merengues are odds-on to win this one. Alonso’s troops are available at 1.37 to kick off their European campaign with three points.

Marseille head to the Spanish capital as the big underdogs. The French side are priced at 7.60 to secure a shock win, while the draw is priced at 5.20.

Real Madrid Win – 1.37

Draw – 5.20

Marseille Win – 7.60
