The French team advanced to the playoffs from a challenging group. In their group with Ajax, Brighton, and AEK, they accumulated 11 points in six matches, securing the second spot.

In Ligue 1, they currently occupy seventh place with 36 points after 24 rounds, trailing the UEFA Champions League qualification zone by five points. In their last five matches, Marseille won three times, drew once, and suffered one defeat.

Villarreal

The Spanish team topped their UEFA Europa League group, thus skipping the previous playoff round. In their group, they outperformed Rennes, Maccabi Haifa, and Panathinaikos. In La Liga, Villarreal has struggled to deliver consistent results this season, sitting in 12th place with 32 points after 27 rounds. In their previous five matches, Villarreal secured two victories and drew three times.

Marseille vs Villarreal prediction

It's a quite intriguing and important match for both teams. Clearly, both will aim to advance to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Europa League. Hence, predicting the winner in this game will be challenging. However, considering the attacking prowess of both teams and their somewhat unreliable defense, I'll opt for the total goals over 2.5 at odds of 1.8.
