The Marseillais travel to the Italians of Bergamo this Thursday, May 9. In the first leg, the two teams were unable to decide between themselves (1-1). Here’s what you need to know about this Europa League semi-final second leg.
The challenge
The day after the arrival of the Olympic flame in Marseille, OM plays its season this Thursday, May 9 in the semi-finals return of the Europa League, in Bergamo, against Atalanta, without being favorites, but with several reasons to ‘hope.
In the first leg, the Marseillais dominated the Italian team, currently 5th in Serie A, without however managing to win (1-1) and present themselves this Thursday in Lombardy with a small lead to defend.
Everything remains to be done for Jean-Louis Gasset’s men who, as often in recent seasons, have found in a European epic, a way to save a completely failed season in the championship.
In addition, for the first time since his arrival at the group’s head in February, Jean-Louis Gasset has his workforce almost complete and will not have to tinker to put together his team.
The likely teams
Atalanta Bergamo: Musso – Djimsiti, De Roon (cap.) Scalvini – Zappacosta, Pasalic (or Hien), Ederson, Ruggeri – Koopmeiners, De Ketelaere – Scamacca. Coach: Gian Piero Gasperini.
Olympic Marseille : Pau Lopez – Mbemba, Gigot (cap.), Balerdi – Clauss, Veretout, Kondogbia, Harit, Merlin – I. Sarr, Aubameyang. Coach: Jean-Louis Gasset.
