Opta prediction sets Liverpool target ahead of Marseille trip

Liverpool’s upcoming Champions League visit to Marseille has been framed clearly by fresh Opta modelling, offering us a precise statistical target on the road in France.

According to Opta Analyst, we head into Wednesday night’s fixture with a 48.4% chance of victory, compared to 27.5% for Marseille, with the draw landing at 24.1%.

Those numbers matter because a single point from the Stade Velodrome would all but settle our European league-phase position.
