Only a few days more than waiting before the return of the sweet music of the Champions League. If the draw took place on August 28, the league phase will not start until Tuesday, September 14th. In the meantime, OPTA has unveiled its forecasts for this 2025/2026 edition and does not bother anything good for Olympique de Marseille…
According to the super-computer, the Marseille club will be eliminated at the end of the league phase, ending in the 31st position and with only eight points. Only Ajax, Bodo/Glimt, Slavia Prague, Qarabag and Kairat Almaty are classified behind OM. Still according to OPTA, AS Monaco will finish in 21st place, synonymous with qualification for dams. A stage of the competition that the Monegasque club had already reached, last season, before being eliminated by Benfica Lisbon. Finally, Opta predicts fifth place for Paris Saint-Germain, despite its busy calendar, and thus a direct qualification for the round of 16 of the competition. The statistician goes even further by indicating that the European European champions have 21.74 % chance of returning to the C1 final.
