Marseille - Atalanta: Form Analysis
While Marseille have been enduring a poor season domestically, currently in seventh place in Ligue 1, they have been much better on the continental stage. They’ve been led by talisman Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who is the competition’s all-time top-scorer and has netted ten times in 11 Europa League games this season, which is the most of any player in 2023-24. The hosts emerged victorious in their recent Europa League match, triumphing over Benfica 4-2 in a penalty shootout during the quarter-finals. They managed to overturn a one-goal deficit from the first leg, securing a 1-0 win during the home leg. Since then, Les Phoceens have remained unbeaten with two draws and a victory against Lens over the weekend. Throughout the season, the hosts have suffered just one defeat at home, which came against Ligue 1 champions PSG, while they have secured victories against formidable opponents such as Ajax, Shakhtar, Villarreal, and Benfica in their Europa League matches at home.
Meanwhile, Atalanta booked their spot in the final four of the Europa League for the first time in their history by overcoming Liverpool in quite remarkable fashion in the quarter-final. Gian Piero Gasperini’s team established a commanding three-goal advantage in the first leg of the tie, which proved sufficient to endure a 1-0 loss in the subsequent home leg. Following that result, La Dea have rattled off three wins in a row, including a 4-1 victory over Fiorentina in the second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-finals, which booked their place in the final, where they will face Juventus on May 15. Atalanta are unbeaten on the road in this competition, recording three wins and two draws in five matches, scoring two or more goals in four of those games. Gianluca Scamacca has been Atalanta's standout performer, netting five goals in the current Europa League campaign. His tally places him in a tie for fourth among the tournament's leading scorers.

Marseille & Atalanta Squad Analysis
Marseille will be without several players for this match. Valentin Roniger has been sidelined since November due to a damaged kneecap and has been ruled out for the remainder of the season. Bilal Nadir and Bamo Maite are also unavailable for the rest of the season due to injury. Chancel Mbemba and Quentin Meric are flagged as doubts, and Samuel Gigot is suspended.
Emil Holm and Rafael Toloi, who sustained injuries in mid-April, are unlikely to recover in time for Atalanta's visit to Marseille this week. However, Toloi is expected to be back in time for the second leg next week. Isak Hien will also be sidelined for this match as he will be serving a one-match ban for an accumulation of yellow cards in this season’s competition.
