Slow start to the season
This success, the fourth of the season, allows the 2021 champions to temporarily rise to seventh in the standings and finally launch the league’s campaign after three defeats in eight games. On the other hand, all the signs are green in the Champions League, where the Portuguese are so far superior by six points in two matches (3-0 against Eintracht Frankfurt and 2-0 against Tottenham).
Unlike Marseille, who have not scored any point (not a single goal) in two matches. Tuesday at 6.45pm at the Velodrome behind closed doors, Igor Todor’s men will have no choice if they want to believe in a European future in the spring.
