Champions League betting and spectator preview: Olympique Marseille and Eintracht Frankfurt meet at venue to measure strength and learn who makes it to the next stage.

These teams have little in common geographically as Eintracht Frankfurt have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

It's no vacation for neither Olympique nor Eintracht Frankfurt as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
