The Stade Velodrome is set to host an intense Europa League semi-final clash between Olympique Marseille and Atalanta in the first leg. Marseille, coming off a 2-1 victory against Lens, are well-prepared to challenge Atalanta with the strong support of their home crowd. The team may see Jean Onana step in for the injured Michael Murillo, while Faris Moumbagna returns from his Ligue 1 suspension.
Atalanta, aiming for their fourth win in a row across all competitions, are fresh from a comfortable 2-0 win against Empoli. Having surprised Liverpool in the Europa League quarter-finals, Atalanta now faces a tough match against Marseille, who have made their home ground a formidable venue. Unfortunately for Atalanta, they will likely be without key players Emil Holm and Rafael Toloi due to injuries.
The match is predicted to end with a 2-1 victory in favor of the home team, Marseille.
