AC Milan welcome Marseille to the San Siro in the Champions League group for a  match that will go a long way to determining which sides will qualify from group C into the next stages of the competition. The hosts are in good form at the moment, winning three of their last four games in all competitions and winning three league games in a row. Marseille are unbeaten in their last six matches and beat Zurich 6-1 in their last Champions League fixture.

Milan are favourites for the match at 10/11 (bet $110 to win $100 profit), leaving Marseille as underdogs at 7/2. Last time the sides met was in September in Marseille and Milan came out fortunate 2-1 winners thanks to two goals from Filippo Inzaghi.

The bookmakers have made a 1-1 draw the most likely result tonight at 6/1, slightly ahead of 1-0 to Milan at 13/2. Both 2-1 and 2-0 are priced at 17/2. A goalless draw is 10/1 and a 1-0 win for Marseille is 11/1.

Twenty year-old Brazil striker Pato has been made 11/2 favourite to open the scoring tonight, slightly ahead of Fillipo Inzaghi and Marco Boriello, who are both at 6/1. New signing Klaas-Jan Huntelaar is 13/2 and he is followed by former Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldinho. Senegalese striker Mamadou Niang represents Marseille’s best chance of scoring the first goal of the match at 8/1.

AC Milan are 11/5 to be winning at both half-time and full-time and 4/1 to win after drawing at half-time. Both halves to finish in a draw is priced at 4/1. Marseille are 7/1 to win both halves and slightly longer at 8/1 to win after the scores are level at the interval.

Neither side is among the favourites to win the Champions League this year but Milan are given a much better chance at 28/1 to Marseille’s 125/1.
