Match Preview

In the Europa League semi-final, teams that were definitely not considered as finalists throughout the tournament will face off. Before the last round, their chances of winning the tournament were rated with the highest odds. However, Marseille knocked out quite strong competitors, and Atalanta even became the author of the loudest sensation. Therefore, the outcome of the match at the "Velodrome" in Marseille can be unpredictable, considering the victory odds - 2.58 against 2.86.

Losses

Marseille has at least eight losses before the match. Gigot, Mbemba, Merlin, Meite - defenders who could have played in the starting lineup. Each of them played no less than five matches in the Europa League, and some even scored. However, Gigot will miss the match due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

Atalanta's injury list includes Toloi - a former defender of the Italian national team, whose career is on the decline. But his competitor Hien is on the rise, but he will miss the game due to an accumulation of yellow cards. Holm will also not play, but it's hard to call him a key player of the starting lineup.

Trends

Marseille concedes in 8 out of their last 9 matches.
Atalanta scores in 9 out of their last 10 Europa League matches.
Marseille scores and concedes in the second half in 5 out of their last 6 matches.

Referee and fouls

Daniel Siebert (Germany) has been appointed for the match, who in his last 10 matches showed an average of 4.9 yellow cards, although he did not record many fouls - 22.9. Looking at the entire season, the referee is quite consistent - an average of 4.9 yellow cards with 22.8 fouls.

Marseille commits few fouls over the season - an average of 11 times. Therefore, they rarely have many yellow cards with an average value of 1.9.

In Atalanta, the tactic of minor fouls is in action - 13.9 rule violations per match. At the same time, they have more yellow cards - 2.2.

The teams got a referee who shows many yellow cards with an average number of fouls. In such a situation, Atalanta risks getting warned more often due to a higher number of fouls statistically. Therefore, two bets can go well - Yellow cards - Atalanta will not lose and Fouls - Atalanta win.

Corners

In matches involving Marseille, an average of 9.7 corners are served, and for Atalanta - one less. Meanwhile, both teams have 4.9 corners themselves. Based on statistics, it's worth considering a bet on Corners - Total less (10.5) for 1.51.

Team Reviews

Marseille changed coaches during the season. This partly paid off in the Europa League, where the team passed strong Villarreal and Benfica, but not in Ligue 1. They have only won one out of six matches and still haven't secured a spot in European competitions. With regard to Marseille, we highlight a trend according to which they score in the second half in 9 out of their last 10 Europa League matches. If you believe that the team will improve after the break, you can choose 2nd half, Marseille Total goals Over (0.5) for 1.74.

Atalanta attracted attention with their gameplay a few seasons ago, and Gasperini was noted as an innovator. This year, the team again resembles its previous form. This is because it has entered the battle for a Champions League spot through Serie A, and in the Europa League knocked out Sporting and Liverpool, which can take first place in their championships. Aggressive play in attack is confirmed by the fact that Italians score in the first half in 6 out of their last 7 matches and in five consecutive away games within the Europa League. You can bet on 1st half, Atalanta Total goals Over (0.5) with an odds of 2.12.

Editorial prediction

Marseille looks great in the Europa League. Previous opponents were definitely not weaker than Atalanta. But the French scored against both Villarreal and Benfica, especially in the second half. In the Europa League, the team has nine such matches out of 10. Therefore, our key bet is - 2nd half, Marseille Total goals Over (0.5) for 1.74.
