Marseille vs Atalanta prediction and betting tips - May 2, 2024
In the first leg of the UEFA Europa League semi-final, there will be a match between Olympique Marseille and Atalanta. The match will take place in France on Thursday, May 2nd. Kick-off is scheduled for 9:00 PM Central European Time. The prediction for this match has been made by Dailysports experts.
Marseille
Frequent changes in coaches have not helped Marseille to show acceptable results at home. The team has been in a turbulent zone all season and currently occupies seventh place in the Ligue 1 table, risking missing out on European competitions next season. Nevertheless, Olympique continues to steadily approach the decisive match in the Europa League. First, the team emerged from a tough group, and in the playoffs, they managed to defeat Shakhtar, Villarreal, and Benfica.
Atalanta
Atalanta has recently experienced personnel changes, which has slightly affected their results. However, Gasperini's team is still in contention for a place in the Champions League next season and holds their fate in their own hands. In addition, Atalanta has already reached the final of the Coppa Italia, where they will battle for the trophy against Juventus. In the Europa League playoffs, the Bergamo team overcame Sporting Lisbon and sensationally knocked out the formidable Liverpool.
Head-To-Head and Key Numbers
- Marseille has lost only one match at home this season.
- In the last 13 away matches, Atalanta has managed to keep a clean sheet only twice.
- The teams have not met each other before.
Marseille vs Atalanta Prediction
Bookmakers find it difficult to name a favorite in this match and do not give preference to either side. Considering Atalanta's strength and Marseille's good performance at home, I'll bet on both teams to score.
