Marseille Betting Preview
Marseille needed penalty kicks to even advance to the semifinals but they were able to beat Benfica. On Sunday they faced off against Lens in Ligue 1 and they were able to secure the 2-1 victory. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang started the scoring in the first minute but they gave up a goal in the 77th minute and the game was suddenly tied 1-1. Pape Gueye scored in the 85th minute to help ick up three points. They had 43 percent of the possession and six shots on target. Samuel Gigot has been issued a one-game suspension and he won’t be available for this game. Not having him is a big loss for this team. Chancel Mbemba is dealing with a knee injury and he’s going to be out for the next week.
Atalanta Betting Preview
In the quarterfinals of the Europa League, Atalanta cruised to an easy victory advancing 3-1. They were beaten by Liverpool 1-0 in the second game, but they had already had such a big lead it didn’t really matter. On Sunday in Serie A, they faced off against Empoli and they were able to secure a 2-0 victory. They had 59 percent of the possession and five shots on goal on the way to the victory. Mario Pasalic scored on a penalty kick and Ademola Lookman scored another goal in the 51st minute. Gianluca Scamacca has been impressive in European competition so far this season and they are going to need him to be a difference-maker again in this game.
Marseille vs Atalanta Betting Prediction
Marseille has been a good defensive team at home this season and they are going to continue that success again here. I do expect Atlanata is also going to take a very good defensive shape on the road, and that is going to be the difference here as this game is going to be lower-scoring. One of the teams won’t score in this game, and the other team won’t score more than a goal. Back the under to cash here. This is a very strong play. I am also betting on the under 1.5 goals to cash.
