We said: Marseille 2-2 AEK Athens

With both Brighton and Ajax unable to claim maximum points in their Group B fixture, Marseille have the chance to climb to the top of the standings with a win on Thursday. However, AEK Athens have made a notable impression in the group stage and we believe that the Greek outfit can claim a hard-earned point against an out-of-sorts Marseille side. Read more.
