Bayern Munich have won their last nine home matches in all competitions. Here, Sports Mole assesses their chances of making it 10 without defeat against Marseille tonight.

Marseille head to the Allianz Arena tonight with the odds of them progressing through to the semi-finals of the Champions League firmly stacked against their favour.

The French club currently trail Bayern Munich 2-0, meaning that a victory margin of three goals is required for them to advance.

Boss Didier Deschamps will be able to call upon goalkeeper Steve Mandanda, who missed the opening leg through suspension.

However, Souleymane Diawara will not recover from a knee injury in time to take his place in the starting lineup.

Hosts Bayern will be without vice-captain Bastian Schweinsteiger because of a one-match ban.

Munich have won their last nine home games in all competitions, scoring 32 and conceding four goals in the process.

Current form:

Bayern: WWDWWW
Marseille: LLLLDL

Possible lineups:

Bayern: Neuer; Lahm, Boateng, Badstuber, Alaba; Luiz Gustavo, Kroos; Robben, Muller, Ribery; Gomez

Marseille: Mandanda; Azpilicueta, Fanni, N'Koulou, Morel; Cheyrou, M'Bia, Amalfitano; Valbuena, Remy, A. Ayew

Sports Mole says: 3-0
