Match Preview
Olympique Marseille
Marseille are first in the group with full amount of points (6) in two games, scoring 4 goals and conceding none. In the game against Borussia Dortmund, Andre Ayew (Dede) scored twice. He seems to be in an excellent shape as he managed to score in the weekend game last week for the 1:1 against Brest. This is Marseille’s first encounter with Arsenal, but they have plenty of experience against English teams. The french team has a superb record on Stade Vélodrome winning 7, drawing one and losing 2 games against English opposition. Last season Marseille faced Chelsea here and won the match with 1:0. In 2010/2011 round of 16, the team faced Manchester United and recorded a draw 0:0 at home.
Arsenal
After a 1:1 as a guest against Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal managed to record a victory on Emirates against Olympiacos, putting them on the second place in the group with 4 points so far. Van Persie in in perfect shape, scoring for the draw against Dortmund and for the victory this weekend twice, against Sunderland (2:1). Despite the fact that Arsenal is still unbeaten, the team seems to be in poor shape, performing on the edge of the loss/draw in Premier League and Champions League. Wenger has made a statement that the team is ready, but needs playtime to get better. Arsenal are unbeaten in 7 visits in France, winning 4 and drawing 3. The latest one was back in Champions League season 2002/03 against AJ Auxerre with 1:0.

Prediction
No previous meetings between both teams so no head-to-head statistics is available. Olympique Marseille has done well against English teams here, winning 7 games, drawing one and losing 2. In the same time, Arsenal are unbeaten in their visits in France, winning 4 and drawing 3, with latest victory in CL season 2002/03.
Consider backing top scorer for Marseille Andre (Dede) Ayew to score at anytime in this match with odds of 13/8 with bet365. Back also Van Persie to score at anytime in this game with identical odds of 13/8 with bet365.
Bottom line, I believe the current shape of Arsenal is far worse than the one Olympique is in. Back Marseille to win the match at 6/5 with bet365.
