In an electrifying Europa League semi-final clash, Atalanta BC will face off against Olympique Marseille on May 9th, 2024, at the Gewiss Stadium.

With the aggregate score locked after a 1-1 draw at the Stade Velodrome, both teams will battle fiercely for a spot in the final.

Form Overview

Atalanta Form

Atalanta enters the match after extending their unbeaten European away streak to 11 matches, highlighted by a 3-0 win at Anfield in the last round against Liverpool.

Alongside this, their home form is equally impressive, winning 11 of their last 14 games at Gewiss Stadium.

In the Serie A, they sit fifth and are on track for Champions League qualification after a comeback win against Salernitana.

Marseille Form

Marseille, on the other hand, have struggled on the road, winning only one of six away games in Europe this season.

Despite this, they have a rich European history, winning the Champions League in 1993 and finishing runners-up in the Europa League multiple times.

They lie behind Lens in Ligue 1, but a Europa League win would ensure Champions League qualification next season, so it is imperative for them to at the very least advance to the final.

Team News

Atalanta

Sead Kolasinac is unavailable due to injury, alongside Emil Holm and Rafael Toloi.

However, Isak Hien is back from suspension, while Teun Koopmeiners, Charles De Ketelaere, and Berat Djimsiti should all return to the starting lineup.

Marseille

Samuel Gigot returns from a ban to bolster the defence. Bamo Meite and Valentin Rongier are out injured, while Amir Murillo may be replaced at the back.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will likely lead the attack, supported by Ismaila Sarr, Faris Moumbagna, and Iliman Ndiaye.

Prediction

Atalanta’s home form and attacking prowess should give them the edge.

Despite Marseille's counter-attacking threat, the Serie A side's firepower should prevail.

Our Prediction: Atalanta BC 1-0 Marseille (Atalanta BC win 2-1 on aggregate)
