Real Madrid's quest for a 16th European title begins on Tuesday night, as they take on French side Marseille at the Bernabeu. It has been a perfect beginning to the season for Xavi Alonso's side, with four wins from their opening four La Liga games. French striker Kylian Mbappe has been the star of the show with a goal in each of those four victories, whilst the likes of Vinicius Jnr, Ardu Güler and Aurelien Tchouameni have also started the campaign in excellent form.
In contrast to Real's sizzling form, Marseille have made an up-and-down start to the new season. Friday night's 4-0 win over Lorient means they have won two and lost two of their opening four games. Away form has been the big problem for Roberto De Zerbi's side, as defeats at Lyon and Rennes mean that they are still searching for their first points on the road.

Our Real Madrid vs Marseille Prediction
This is a daunting trip for Marseille. Madrid have started the campaign in imperious form, and in Kylian Mbappe, they possess arguably the most lethal striker in world football. That being said, (Mbappe aside) Madrid haven't quite hit their straps in attack so far, and their strong start has primarily been down to a rock solid backline. So whilst we are backing the 14 time champions to win on Tuesday, we don't think it will be a high scoring contest. Our prediction for Real Madrid vs Marseille is: Real Madrid to win and under 3.5 goals.
