The Provençals are having a rough season with three different head coaches. Under Jean-Louis Gasset, who replaced Gennaro Gattuso, Marseille started strong with five wins but then failed five matches in a row. Olympique Marseille is currently in ninth place in the Ligue 1, ten points behind the top four. So the Europa League is the team's only hope for a Champions League spot next season.
Benfica
Benfica, who played this weekend, showcased their prowess with a convincing 3:0 victory over Moreirense at home. This win keeps them in the race, as they are four points behind the first-placed Sporting.
Benfica was leading 2:0 early in the second half against Marseille after goals from Rafa Silva and Angel di Maria, but couldn't hold on to the two-goal advantage, ending up 2:1.
Expert Betting Tips
Marseille is in a rough spot, having lost five matches. We think Benfica will take advantage of the opponent's struggles and secure a place in the European playoffs. At the same time, we believe the match will be productive. Both teams have been mainly playing matches that ended with the total over, so Marseille will have to go on the attack and open up, given the scoreline in the first game.
