Marseille returned to the top French clubs. More recently, they were going through a severe crisis when the team could not achieve the top three of League-1 for years, but now they have finished in the top 3 twice in a row. In the 2021/22 season, they became vice-champions of the country and then had every chance to keep second place, but they failed at the end of the championship, losing three times. This is why they fell into third place, so now they are waiting for the Champions League qualification. Marseille played three control matches with the new coach, beating Nimes – 2:0 and Waalwijk - 1:0, and lost to Eupen – 0:1.

For Bayer, last season was an unstable success. In the championship debut, they left a disappointing impression when the team had to solve the problems in the Bundesliga relegation zone. Xabi Alonso appeared as head coach, quickly bringing his new wards out of the crisis. They could not return to the fight for the Champions League, but they reached the semifinals of the Europa League, where they lost to Roma. A good result! Moreover, in the German championship, the team had sixth place in the standings, which allowed them to participate in the Europa League. Bayer played two control matches in the summer, losing to Paderborn and Sociedad – 1:2 and 0:1.

Bayer won the last time on April 23, after losing in the Bundesliga and the Europa League, and now in test matches. They could not win the past nine games, which is what the Marseille players should use. Bayer's defense has been playing modestly, making too many scoring mistakes. According to the statistics: Bayer conceded eight goals (2.00 on average per game) in the four previous matches, which is a modest result. At the same time, Marseille strengthened the offense in the summer. Therefore, we can expect high productivity from them in attack.
