Atalanta vs Marseille Analysis
Atalanta Preview
It has been an excellent campaign in Europe for Atalanta this term, but the pressure will be on the Italian side when they have home field advantage on Thursday. Winning the Europa League this term could be their best route back into Europe next term.
The Italian side have never previously reached the final of a European competition, and they could become the first time since 2015 to reach a showpiece match for the first time.
Their chances of progression this week are boosted by the fact that they have progressed from four of their last five ties after avoiding defeat in the first leg. The Atalanta scores have already seen the Italian side land a 3-0 win over Liverpool this term.
But, they would have been disappointed not to have claimed victory last week in France, as they opened the scoring after eleven minutes. However, the UEL standings before Christmas and their UEL team stats in the knockout round indicate that they are one of the most talented teams in the competition.
Marseille Preview
It has been a mixed season to say the least for Marseille this term, as the French club have struggled throughout their domestic campaign. Therefore, winning the Europa League will be their best chance of making Europe next term due to the poor Marseille standings in Ligue 1.
The French side showed great character last week to play out a draw, but they could have missed their best opportunity to put one foot in the final after failing to land a victory in their home leg.
However, Marseille have an excellent record in Europe, and they will be attempting to reach their second final since 2018 in the Europa League.
The UEL player stats also show that their stars have an excellent record in matches after avoiding defeat in the first leg, as they have progressed from each of their last nine. It only aids their case that they have no fresh UEL injuries.
Atalanta vs Marseille Head to Head
This will be the second time that Atalanta and Marseille have collided in a European competition. The previous clash came last week, as the teams played out a 1-1 draw in France.
