The Portuguese club followed a 3-1 loss to Manchester City with a 2-0 win over Olympiacos last time out thanks to goals from Fabio Viera and Sergio Oliveira.
Marseille are yet to register a point after two rounds of Group C fixtures.
Les Olympiens suffered a 1-0 loss away to Olympiacos in Greece before being on the wrong end of a 3-0 drubbing at home to City on matchday two.
Marseille manager André Villas-Boas was in defence mode following his team's loss to the English Premier League giants and outlined upcoming matches against Porto as key to their chances of progressing in the competition.
"City is City. They spent a billion in five years. It's a team that plays very well, which has a coach who is a phenomenon, who always plays with possession of the ball with Bayern [Munich], Barcelona, and now City," said Villas-Boas.
We wanted to play balls in behind them. Unfortunately, they were offered the first goal when we needed to get out of the press.
"We had a better second half. We made the changes but we conceded the second goal. So fatigue plus the goal broke morale.
"I don't regret my choices, why should I regret them? There's now six points for City, three points for Porto and three points for Olympiacos, so the loss in Greece hurts. The matches against Porto will be the key to qualifying," he concluded.
