Head to Head

Last week’s match in France was the first head to head meeting between Atalanta and Marseille.

The first tie ended in a 1-1 draw.

Atalanta Form

After last week’s 1-1 draw against Marseille in France, Atalanta returned to winning ways last weekend in Serie A by defeating Salernitana 2-1.

They were behind until 57th minute when Gianluca Scamacca scored an equalizer, while the game-winning goal was seen six minutes later, Teun Koopmeiners hitting the target.

This victory was of massive importance for Gian Piero Gasperini’s side as they currently sit in 5th place in Serie A, a position which grants a spot in the UEFA Champions League next season.

La Dea also made it to the Coppa Italia grand finals where they will face Juventus later this month. After losing the first tie to Fiorentina 1-0, they bounced back and won at home 4-1 in late April.

Emil Holm, Rafael Toloi and Sead Kolasinac are injured.

Marseille Form

Marseille finished the first tie with 0.88-0.73 expected goals, 48% possession and 14-9 shots. After Gianluca Scamacca broke the deadlock in the 11th minute, the French outfit responded and found the equalizer nine minutes later through Chancel Mbemba.

To reach the Europa League semi-finals, Marseille eliminated Benfica after a penalty shootout. The first leg in Portugal was won by the Eagles 1-0, the French outfit winning 1-0 at home, Faris Moumbagna scoring a late goal.

After two consecutive draws in Ligue 1, Les Phoceens returned to winning ways just before the first tie against Atalanta in a tough matchup against Lens 2-1.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang broke the deadlock in the first minute, Wesley Said scoring an equalizer in the 77th. Pape Gueye secured three points with his goal just before the stoppage time.
