Atalanta vs Marseille First Leg
This is the second leg between Atalanta and Marseille. In the first meeting, the two teams played to a 1-1 draw. Gianluca Scamacca scored in the 11th minute for Atalanta to take the lead, but Marseille scored in the 20th minute with a goal by Chancel Mbemba Mangulu to tie the game, which is where it ended.
Atalanta Betting Preview
Atalanta returns home for this game, and they already have the one road goal so they should have confidence heading into this game. Atalanta had 51 percent of the possession and two shots on target. On Monday they faced off against Salernitana and they were able to secure the 2-1 victory. Teun Koopmeiners scored the game-winner in the 63rd minute. Atalanta had 70 percent of the possession and four shots on target. Sead Kolasinac was injured in the last game and now he’s not being considered for this game. Emil Holm and captain Rafael Toloi are also hurt and won’t be able to go in this game. Teun Koopmeiners didn’t play on Monday but he’s expected to play a role in this game.
Marseille Betting Preview
Marseille knows they have their backs against the wall now after giving up that goal in the last game and now they know a 0-0 draw isn’t going to be enough to get it done. Marseille’s defense hasn’t been perfect heading into this game and in each of their last four games they have given up at least one goal. Two games ago against Lens, Marseille played to a 2-1 victory. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is a star on this team and he’s going to need to have a big game here. Samuel Gigot was banned from the last game, but he’s returned and will need to be an x-factor in this game.
Atalanta vs Marseille Prediction
Away from home this season Marseille hasn’t been great, and they are going to struggle again here. At home Atalanta has found success scoring and they are going to get the offense out to a fast start. Atalanta is going to score at least two goals here, and that is going to be enough for them to get the job done. Marseille won’t be keeping up here, and I don’t think they even score a goal. Back Atalanta on the money line.
