Marseille have been in sublime football form of late and will be hoping to repeat the heroics of 2003/04 season when they host Russian outfit Zenit St. Petersburg at home in the first leg of the round of 16 in the UEFA Cup, a match you can watch live online on www.oleolefootball.com coverage starting from 19:45 GMT this coming Thursday 6^th of March 2008.

Marseille narrowly sneaked through to this round after losing 2-0 against another Russian opposition Spartak Moscow in the second leg. However a fine performance in the first leg where they won 3-0 gave them a terrific platform and the French giants will be hoping to repeat the same this time around. Marseille have been in unbeaten since the start of the year and with the likes of Sameer Nasri, Valbuyena and Djibril Cisse forming a deadly trio upfront, Marseille will be confident of getting a strong lead against their Russian rivals who are a bit short on match practice. Marseille reached the finals of the UEFA Cup back in 2003/04 on the back of some brilliant strike performances by Didier Drogba and they will be hoping that ex- Liverpool striker Cisse can help them go on step further this time around.

A late away goal in Villarreal helped Zenit snatch victory from the jaws of defeat last time around. Despite losing 2-1 away, their 1-0 home win ensured an away victory for the Russians. Zenit are suffering from match practice as the Russian league has already concluded and have played only six matches in the past two months owing to weather conditions in Russia. However, there is no shortage of grit and passion in Zenit’s ranks and given Marseille’s rather uncomfortable outing in Russia last time around, Zenit will be eyeing atleast a draw that will put them in poll position to qualify for the next round of the UEFA Cup.
