Top 3 Predictions and Betting Tips for Marseille vs Paok
Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: Marseille win or draw and under 3.5 goals – 1.50
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Marseille -1 goals handicap – 1.71
Bookmaker Ratings prediction three: Correct score 2-1 – 8.40
Marseille Win or Draw and Under 3.5 Goals
There is a 70% chance for a Marseille win since they won seven of their last ten games in Europe. Meanwhile, Paok won 50% of their away games in the continental competitions. Moreover, there is an 85% chance for under 3.5 goals to be scored in this clash.
Marseille -1 Goal Handicap
It has been a fine season for L’OM so far and they have excelled in recent games as well going unbeaten in their last five. Moreover, playing at the Velodrome, Marseille covered the -1 goal handicap in five of their last seven fixtures and in all four ECL games this term.
Correct Score 2-1
The last two Marseille games in the Europa Conference League ended in a scoreline of 2-1 in favor of the French team. Also, the last two home games and three of their last five games ended in the same score.
Preliminary Review and Match Prediction for Marseille vs Paok
Marseille’s record against Greek teams is encouraging with four wins two draws and two defeats. However, L’OM know that a very hostile atmosphere awaits them in Stadio Toumba in the reverse leg if they don’t manage a decisive blow in the first leg.
Hence, boss Jorge Sampaoli will be happy with his team’s last performance when they scored four in Saint Etienne. However, in their last six home games in Europe, Marseille won four and drew two and only one of those wins was by more than a one-goal margin.
Paok entered the competition in the third qualifying round and scored 19 goals in 14 games. In the group stages, Paok finished second in Group F behind Copenhagen with just one defeat. After reaching the knockout round, the Greek side eliminated Midtjylland and Gent.
In their last outing, Paok suffered their first defeat in nine games at the hands of Panathinaikos. Coach Ruzvan Lucescu however will rely on his team’s fine run in the Conference League form. To illustrate, the White Blacks won six of their ten fixtures in the group stage and beyond.

Marseille vs Paok Prediction
Two of the best teams in their domestic leagues go head-to-head in this ECL matchup. Obviously, Marseille has the more experienced players and Sampaoli will put the pressure early on the Greek side to take a comfortable lead to the second leg.
Still, we think it will be a close game and for that, we will back a combo bet of home win or draw
And under 3.5 goals.
Safe Bet
In their last four ECL fixtures, Marseille won 18 corners averaging 4.5 per game. While Paok won 58 corners in ten games averaging 5.8 corners per game. Thus, we will back over 8.5 total corners in Thursday’s showdown and consider it as our safe bet.
Quick Rich
With Paok’s recent form, the Greek team seems to be able to come back from Marseille with a draw. Surely, the Greeks’ ambitions will be helped by the fact that Marseille lost two of their last four home fixtures. Hence, with an odds of 4.60, we will choose a draw in this match as our quick profit option.
Marseille vs Paok First Goalscorer
Bamba Dieng was on target in Marseille’s last win over Sait Etienne. With that, the Senegal international raised his tally for the season to five goals. We predict the 22-year-old will be the first scorer in the absence of the injured Milik.
