Benfica Lisbon - Marseille: Form Analysis
Benfica will be looking to respond strongly in Europe after likely seeing their hopes of retaining the Liga Portugal trophy evaporate on the weekend. The Eagles fell to a devastating 2-1 away defeat to league leaders Sporting which saw them concede the winner in the 92nd minute. This leaves Roger Schmidt’s side four points behind their Lisbon rivals but with their opponents also holding a game-in-hand advantage. The loss also snapped Benfica’s previous six-game unbeaten run. They’ll certainly benefit from a return to the Esadio da Luz where they have posted an impressive 12-2-0 record domestically and a 1-1-0 record in the Europa League so far. After finishing third in their Champions League group, Benfica overcame Toulouse and then Rangers to advance to this stage of the competition.
Marseille have experienced a difficult season in Ligue 1. They currently sit eighth with a 10-point gap between themselves and Lille for a spot in next season’s Europa League. Les Phocéens have also experienced the turmoil of having a midseason manager swap after Gannaro Gattuso was replaced by Jean-Louis Gasset. The former Ivory Coach boss experienced a strong start but has since seen his OM side lose its last four games in a row. Their most recent outing resulted in a 3-1 away defeat to Lille, the fourth consecutive time that Marseille has conceded two or more goals. Marseille finished second in their Europa League group and defeated Shakhtar and Villarreal to advance to the final eight.

Benfica Lisbon & Marseille Squad Analysis
Benfica manager Roger Schmidt doesn’t have any injuries or suspensions to worry about in his team and will have his full squad available for selection. The key players to watch will be striker Rafa, who has contributed 19 goals and 14 assists across 47 matches, as well as Angel Di Maria who is still playing at a high level with 15 goals and 13 assists in 42 matches.
On the other side, Gasset will have to deal with a few injuries to his squad and will be without five players for the trip to Lisbon. Among these names are Valentin Rongier, Amir Murillo, Bilal Nadir, Jean Onana and Jonathan Clauss. Gasset will also be unable to call upon Ulisses Garcia and Pape Gueye, who are ineligible to play in this competition. The danger-man for OM will undoubtedly be Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who has netted nine goals in nine Europa League appearances so far this campaign.
