Atalanta vs Marseille Match Preview And Prediction
Atalanta vs Marseille: On Thursday night, Atalanta will attempt to win their first-ever European championship. At Gewiss Stadium, they will host Marseille in the second leg of their UEFA Europa League semi-final. A strong run of play in recent weeks has elevated the Dea to the top spot. Can the Liverpool conquerors earn their label?
In the past 14 home games in all competitions, Atalanta has prevailed in 11. Marseille enters this game coming off of five away games in all competitions that ended in four losses and one tie. In his previous eleven Dea appearances, Gianluca Scamacca scored eight goals.
Seven days ago, Atalanta went eleven games in a row without losing away in Europe. At Stade Orange Velodrome, they held Marseille to a scoreless draw of one. Gianluca Scamacca scored his sixth goal in the Europa League last week, extending his incredible play. Late in the game on French soil, Aleksei Miranchuk had a great opportunity to give the Italians the lead, but he missed the mark.
For the first time since the 2017–18 season, Marseille hopes to make it to the Europa League final. However, in the previous ten games across all competitions, they had only earned two victories. This form does not look good in front of the rematch against the formidable Italians.
Atalanta vs Marseille: Betting Analysis
This will just be Atalanta and Marseille’s second meeting in person. The first leg was played on French soil seven days ago, ending in a 1-1 draw. It was a cautious situation with little opportunities for public recognition on either side.
Marseille’s European excursions this season have been awful. Out of their six away games in the Europa League this season, the Phocians have only won one. The losing streak includes matches against Villarreal in the round of sixteen and Benfica in the quarterfinal. In their last 14 home games across all competitions, Atalanta had won 11 of them.
The streak consists of a 4-1 thumping of Fiorentina in the Coppa Italia semi-final matchup in late April. Over the course of ten away games across all competitions, Marseille has failed to maintain a clean sheet. During this run, they have allowed multiple goals in each of the previous five games.
The only sensible wager is the home win selection, which you can place at 1.75 odds. The back line of Marseille has been inconsistent lately. This is going to be Gianluca Scamacca’s soundtrack. The former West Ham striker has been playing exceptionally well lately.
The 25-year-old Italian scored eight goals in his previous eleven Dea games. During the run, there were two goals at Anfield during the Europa League quarterfinal. On Thursday, you may back Scamacca to score at any time for the alluring 2.62.
