Marseille

The Olympians are in a very difficult group of the UEFA Europa League. They finished second in the same quartet as Brighton, AEK and Ajax. Marseille started the play-offs in the last 16. There, they beat Shakhtar Donetsk 5-3 on aggregate with a score of two matches. In the next round, the French team played against Villareal. In the first game, the Olympians defeated the Spanish team 4-0, and despite a 1-3 defeat at home, they were able to reach the quarter-finals. However, Marseille's current form is not very good, with five defeats in their last five matches and only three goals scored during this period.

Benfica

The Eagles started the European Cup season in the UEFA Champions League. In the same group as Inter, Real Sociedad, and RB Salzburg, Benfica took third place. The Portuguese team had four points to continue playing in European competitions. In the last 16 of the UEFA Europa League, Benfica narrowly defeated Toulouse 2-1, and in the last 16 they also beat Rangers by one goal. The Eagles are in a better position with three wins, a draw and a defeat.
