Atalanta vs Marseille Preview
Atalanta and Marseille will meet in the second semi-final match of the UEFA Europa League. The game will take place on Thursday, May 9 at the Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia in Bergamo.
The first match in France ended with a 1-1 draw – the teams exchanged quick goals at the beginning of the match, after which the game did not witness any more goals or dangerous moments. Naturally, a draw in the first match automatically makes the Italian team the favourite, which will now have the advantage of its own field. Bookmakers are almost convinced that Atalanta will continue to fight for the trophy and give odds of 1.33-1.40 for this outcome. In the case of Marseille, bookmakers offer quotes 2.90-3.00 for the team reaching the final.
However, the guests should make their best efforts at the upcoming match. Marseille will definitely not get into the Champions League through Ligue 1, and in general, getting into European cups will be a miracle, so the last chance for the team is to win the Europa League.
The bookmakers are convinced that the hosts will win on Thursday. Judging by Atalanta vs Marseille odds, their success is estimated with odds of 1.72-1.82, while the probability of an Italian victory is estimated at odds of 4.65-4.80. The odds for a draw in regular time are 3.90-4.05.
Let's evaluate the current form of the opponents and choose the most reliable option for Atalanta vs Marseille tips.
Atalanta Preview
May will be the most important month for the Gian Piero Gasperini team. In addition to the opportunity to reach the UEFA Europa League finals, the team will have to play against Juventus in the Coppa Italia final. Also, the fight for the fifth position in Serie A has not yet been completed, still making it possible for the team to qualify for the UEFA Champions League.
Atalanta is having an excellent season in the UEFA Europa League and is deservedly considered the favourite to reach the finals. In the current draw of the tournament, the team suffered only one defeat in 11 matches (6 wins, 4 draws) – the Italian club lost only to Liverpool (0-1), but before that sensationally defeated the English grand at Anfield (3-0).
In the upcoming match, Gian Piero Gasperini will not be able to count on Sead Kolašinac, who was injured in the first match against Marseille. But Isak Hien, who missed the game at the Orange Velodrome due to disqualification, will return to the squad.
Marseille Preview
Unlike Atalanta, the French club has plenty of experience playing in European Cup finals. Marseille competed in the UEFA Cup/Europa League finals in 1999, 2004 and 2018, but lost in each of them. However, the French have a victory in the UEFA Champions League in 1993.
To reach the finals now, Marseille will have to put in a serious effort, given how poorly the club has performed on the road this season. In Ligue 1, the team shares the last place in terms of the number of points scored away from home with the outsider Clermont (11 each). Amid the visit to Italy Marseille is having only one away win in the last 10 matches in all tournaments (3 draws, 6 defeats).
Atalanta vs Marseille Betting Tips
Given Marseille's terrible away form, it's hard to imagine that the French will be able to do anything against the disciplined team of Gian Piero Gasperini in Bergamo. Atalanta is the complete opposite of its rival, performing well on the home field – only two defeats in the last 16 matches in all tournaments. The guests will not be able to count on the fatigue of the opponent either – by the will of the calendar, the last round of Serie A was held by the club from Bergamo against the outsider Salernitana (2-1) and Gasperini gave his leaders a rest.
We believe that the hosts will be able to achieve victory in regular time and reach the final of the UEFA Europa League, and this is the option we offer as an Atalanta vs Marseille prediction. Our tip for this game is Atalanta to win at odds of 1.79.
