Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the UEFA Europa League match.
Marseille
Marseille have recovered in the second half of April after 5 consecutive defeats. They actively attack the goals of each opponent they play against. However, their opponents have some attempts too. Toulouse, Nice (both games 2:2) and Lens have created 2.81 xG in summary. The key defenders (Mbemba, Meïté and Merlin) are likely to remain out of the squad due to injuries. The defensive line will be vulnerable.
Atalanta
Atalanta are struggling to get to the top 5 in the Italian Serie A, they have reached the final of the Italian cup. Last week saw Atalanta beating Fiorentina (4:1) and Empoli (2:0). Lookman have scored 2 goals and made 3 assists in the last 3 games. The attacking line looks like it did in the best of times. Atalanta have scored 14 goals in the last 7 games. They will be able to score at least 1 goal in this match.
Marseille – Atalanta prediction
Atalanta haven’t been able to score a goal only in 2 out of the last 10 away games. The Italian side will have some attempts and will be able to score.
