FC Zurich will carry the unexpected tag of favorite when the team hosts Marseille in the Champions League on Wednesday.

The Swiss side's surprise 1-0 victory at AC Milan in the second round of matches has altered the dynamics of a group in which it is pitted against three former European champions and in which it began as the clear underdog for qualification for the knockout phase.
