Marseille vs Atalanta Match Preview And Prediction
Marseille vs Atalanta: On Thursday night at Stade Orange Velodrome, Marseille and Atalanta will play the first leg of their UEFA Europa League semi-final match. The hosts want to put an end to the bad trend in their matches against Italian teams. In their past seven head-to-head matches against Italians, Marseille had suffered five losses and drawn two. This will be their inaugural matchup with Atlanta.
In the last five home games in the UEFA Europa League, Marseille has prevailed each time. Of these five victories, four saw the Phocians score three goals or more. Four of Atalanta’s five away Europa League games this season have seen two goals or more scored.
The weekend proved to be fruitful for both teams. On Sunday night, Marseille defeated Lens 2-1 at home. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, their leading scorer, shone on this occasion with a goal and an assist. In sixth place in Ligue 1, the Phocians are presently only two points behind Lens.
Four days ago in Bergamo, Atalanta defeated Empoli 2-0 to extend their winning run. Gianpiero Gasperini’s soldiers put on a terrific offensive display, with Mario Pasalic and Ademola Lookman hitting their targets. The Dea stormed back into the Serie A top six. In the rematch of the semi-final match last Wednesday, they defeated Fiorentina 4-1 to progress to the Coppa Italia final as well.
