The Stade Vélodrome in Marseille will host a highly anticipated showdown on Wednesday evening, as Olympique Marseille take on Liverpool in Matchday 7 of the UEFA Champions League group stage for the 2025–2026 season. 

The English side feature Egyptian star Mohamed Salah, adding extra spotlight to the encounter.

Liverpool head into the match after mixed results in Europe this season. 

The Reds have collected 12 points from their first six matches but currently sit ninth in the group standings, making victory crucial as they look to move closer to the automatic qualification places for the knockout stage.

Marseille, meanwhile, are aiming to strengthen their position in the table. 

The French side occupy 16th place with nine points and know that any further slip-up at home could significantly complicate their qualification hopes in the remaining rounds.

Wednesday’s encounter represents a tough test for both teams. Liverpool are under pressure to protect their chances of advancing, while Marseille will look to capitalize on home advantage and the support of their fans. 

As a result, the match is considered one of the standout fixtures of Matchday 7 in the UEFA Champions League.
