Real Madrid kick off their Champions League campaign at home against Marseille on Tuesday, and our betting tips for the clash can be backed in a 9/2 bet builder.
The Champions League is finally back, and record winners Real Madrid are in action against Ligue 1 side Marseille in their opening league phase fixture at 20:00 on Tuesday evening.
Los Blancos, now managed by Xabi Alonso, have started the season in fine form. They currently sit at the top of the LaLiga table, having won each of their opening four league matches.
Last time out, they edged past Real Sociedad to win 2-1 on Saturday afternoon.
Les Olympiens, meanwhile, have won two and lost two in the French top-flight so far this season. It’s a return that sees them sit in seventh place in the table on six points.
Roberto De Zerbi’s side most recently played out a 4-0 win over newly-promoted Lorient, in which former Manchester United players Angel Gomes and Mason Greenwood both scored.
Marseille head into this one as overwhelming 7/1 outsiders with football betting sites, while Real Madrid are rated at around 1/3 to kickstart their continental campaign with three points.

Real Madrid Half Time/Full Time @ 10/11
Los Blancos have started the season with real intent, winning the majority of their games by imposing themselves early on and maintaining control throughout.
With the Bernabeu behind them, they are strong favourites to dominate from the first whistle.
This is why we’re backing them to lead at the break and to see it out at a price of around 10/11 – a feat that has been achieved in each of their last three competitive matches.
Arda Guler to Score at Any Time @ 8/5
Our next tip is to back Arda Guler to score at any time during the match.
Guler has become an increasingly important attacking option in the Real Madrid squad, especially under Alonso, starting in all four of their league matches thus far in 2025-26.
Within those four matches, he has registered two goals and an assist. Opposing defenders often struggle to defend against him, with his late runs into the box making him tough to track.
At 8/5, we see strong value in backing the Turkish youngster to get on the scoresheet against a Marseille defence that has struggled away from home this season.
Vinicius Junior to Score or Assist @ 1/2
Finally, we’re backing Vinicius Junior to score or assist against Marseille.
The winger remains one of Los Blancos’ most explosive forwards, consistently creating and finishing chances, and he just loves playing in the Champions League.
Last term, he totalled eight goals and three assists in 12 appearances in the competition.
Set to feature prominently once more, he will likely start on the left wing, joined in attacking midfield by the aforementioned Guler and Kylian Mbappe up front.
Rodrygo opted to stay at Real Madrid despite interest from Tottenham in the summer, however he is expected to remain confined to the bench, with Brahim Diaz preferred on the right wing.
At 1/2, there’s plenty of value in backing the Vinicius to register a goal involvement here.
