THE KEY STATS

  • Marseille have won two and drawn one of their previous three home matches in the UEFA Cup/Europa League semi-finals.
  • Marseille have won their last seven home matches in the Europa League knockout rounds.
  • Marseille have lost only two of their last 18 UEFA competition matches at home (W12 D4).
  • Marseille have won their last seven two-legged ties in the Europa League knockout rounds.
  • Marseille are without a win in their last seven UEFA competition matches against Italian teams (D2 L5).
  • Atalanta have lost the first leg in only two of their last 16 UEFA competition two-legged ties (W6 D8).
  • Including qualifying, Atalanta are unbeaten in their last 11 Europa League matches away from home (W7 D4).
  • Atalanta have scored at least one goal in the first half in nine of their last 11 Europa League matches away from home.

THE PREDICTION

Atalanta stunned Liverpool in the quarter-finals, ruining Jurgen Klopp’s European swansong with the Reds and booking a place in the last four of the Europa League for the first time in La Dea’s history. Marseille meanwhile, are set to compete in this stage of the competition for a fourth time, having won all three of their previous semi-final ties across the club's history. After knocking out Portuguese giants Benfica last time out, Marseille underlined how strong a team they are and Atalanta face another difficult away trip in the first-leg. But underestimating a side led by the canny Gian Piero Gasperini would be a foolish move and the visitors certainly boast the attacking capabilities to hurt Marseille. This may well prove to be a first-leg full of goal-scoring opportunities at both ends of the pitch and regardless of the final outcome, backing over 2.5 goals to be scored looks a good move.

TIP: OVER 2.5 GOALS
