Atalanta vs Marseille Prediction: Expect a Draw?

Prediction for the UEFA Europa League match which will take place on May 9. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Gian Piero Gasperini seems to have correctly calculated his team's strength throughout the season. Now that the most important matches are upon us, Atalanta is in top form and looking to win two competitions. After a 1:1 away draw with Marseille, the Bergamaschi will be satisfied with a win, even in extra time, with any score to reach the Europa League final. And already on 15 May, Atalanta will compete with Juventus at the Olimpico in Rome for the Italian Cup.

Atalanta is also doing well in the national championship. In the last round they on the road beat Salernitana (2:1), thanks to goals Scamacca and Kopmeiners in the second half, and moved up to fifth place in the standings, that is, returned to the Champions League competition. It should also be noted that in the match against Salernitana Alexei Miranchuk appeared in the starting line-up of Atalanta, but was substituted at half-time with the score of 0:1.

The team is far from successful this season, having changed their head coach several times during the season, and they sit in ninth place in the French league just before the end of the tournament. Thus, the Europa League is the last opportunity for Marseille not only to win the trophy, but also to secure a ticket to the Champions League next season. A 1:1 draw with Atalanta on home soil is not the best result before the return leg. However, Marseille had extra days of rest.

After the away goal rule's cancellation, the first game's equal score leaves roughly equal chances of advancing to the next round for both teams. Marseille and Atalanta are worthy opponents of each other.
