Real Madrid seems to be the best team in Europe for this season because their squad just boasts a host of star studded players which other clubs are not able to afford. The likes of Ronaldo, Benzema and Alonso will be just too strong for oppositions to handle and Marseille will be taught a real lesson today. French teams are not the best defensively and I just cannot see how Madrid not scoring a minimum of three goals in this game. With a healthy win today, Madrid would almost certainly guarantee a place in the knock-out rounds.

Marseille have been erratic at times this season and although their strikeforce is one of the most lethal around, their defence have always been criticised for being too porous. They have conceded eight goals over their last four matches and I guess a heavy loss will also certainly put their end to their dreams of advancing further as the likes of AC Milan in the group would mean no second chance for the French outfit. Go for Madrid to carry on on their hungry goal scoring form.

Pick: Madrid -1.5 @2.05
