Benfica vs Marseille Analysis
Benfica Preview
It hasn’t been the European campaign that Benfica would have been hoping for this term. The Benfica schedule highlights that their European season started in the Champions League, before they dropped into the Europa League after finishing third in the standings.
However, they haven’t allowed that disappointment to knock them off their stride, as they have progressed through the previous two rounds in the competition with ease.
The Portuguese side overcame Toulouse in the knockout playoff round, before holding their nerve to land a 3-2 aggregate success against Scotland in the previous round.
Benfica’s home record in the Europa League deserves the most respect this week. The Portuguese side are unbeaten in all 28 home matches that they have played in the competition, landing 21 wins and playing out just seven draws.
Marseille Preview
Marseille will be aware of the significance of the Europa League in the context of their remaining matches this term. The competition could present the French team with their best chance of finishing in a Champions League position this term.
The French team finished second in the UEL standings before Christmas after winning three of their six matches. But, the Marseille scores showcased their excellent quality in the final third of the field.
That continued into the knockout round, with Marseille netting ten goals across matches against Shakhtar Donetsk and Villarreal. The UEL player stats show that Marseille have scored 24 goals in the competition this season, with the French team boasting the best expected goal total.
