We were treated to two very exciting Champions League matches on Tuesday (Bayern Munich 2-2 Real Madrid) and Wednesday (Dortmund 1-0 PSG). And now, on Thursday, it's time for the other two European competitions, with the kickoff of the first leg matches of the Europa League and Conference League, including OM's match. All the information is below.

Marseille vs Atalanta: Can the Vélodrome magic help secure an advantage?

Marseille vs Atalanta

Olympique de Marseille is just two matches away from a Europa League final! After losing out to Antoine Griezmann's Atlético Madrid in 2018, Marseille could repeat another European feat, adding another line to an already illustrious history. For that, OM will need to start the match on the right foot, and any result other than a victory tonight would not be ideal before a tough trip to Bergamo. To truly have an edge for the final, Gasset's men will need to deliver a strong performance, as they did against Benfica. Without further ado, find our prediction for Marseille - Atalanta below!

AS Roma vs Bayer Leverkusen: Can the Wolf knock down the invincibles? 

Roma vs Leverkusen

Here's another great match in these Europa League semi-finals! We have a strong Roma team, which has often found itself far in European competitions in recent years, facing this season's surprise team in European football. At the beginning of the season, nobody saw Roma reaching this stage of the competition. But the appointment of Daniele De Rossi as head coach has completely changed the game, and the Wolf has been transformed since then. But they'll have their work cut out. Indeed, facing them is the team that has yet to lose an official match this season and simply refuses to be defeated. This Leverkusen team is impressive and does everything to secure success. The number of winning or equalizing goals scored in injury time this year is evidence of that. Will it be the first defeat for Xabi Alonso's Bayer this year? Find out in our prediction for AS Roma vs Bayer Leverkusen!

Aston Villa vs Olympiacos: A clear path for the English? 

Villa vs Olympiakos

Aston Villa has been the clear favorite for our Conference League prediction since the beginning of the competition! And even though Unai Emery's men struggled (and were lucky) to eliminate Lille in the quarter-finals, our opinion on the matter hasn't changed. We clearly see the English team going all the way in this competition and lifting the trophy on May 29. And even if the Greeks arrive in very good form for this trip to England, we can hardly see them achieving a good result before returning home next Thursday... For our arguments and numerous statistics on this match, our prediction for Aston Villa vs Olympiacos is available!

Fiorentina vs Club Brugge: Do the Belgians have a chance to shine? 

Fiorentina vs Bruges

To end this European evening and these four matches, we'll have a very interesting match between Fiorentina and Club Brugge! And while on paper Fiorentina is the clear favorite, which is also the opinion of bookmakers and many observers, our experts aren't entirely in agreement with this. Indeed, Fiorentina has shown significant difficulties this season and hasn't really had a good season. On the other hand, Brugge has been very impressive in recent weeks, for example, they have completely rekindled their title race since the start of the playoffs. Will the Belgians pull off a big upset tonight? Find out in our prediction for Fiorentina vs Club Brugge!
