One of Thursday's more high-profile UEFA Europa League fixtures comes our way from Germany, where Leverkusen and Marseille will do business. This is fixture between two teams operating at different ends of the League Phase table. After a fine start, the hosts find themselves sitting in a lofty second position, courtesy of three wins from three. In contrast, the French visitors are struggling near the foot of the standings, sitting in a lowly 34th place, thanks to taking zero points from three games. Defensively, they really could do with tightening up, while they'll want to improve at the other end of the field too.
Against a Marseille team that continues to struggle at the back, the in-form Ibrahim Maza, who scored a well-taken goal at the weekend, could easily do some damage. At odds of +225, available at Caesars at the time of writing, the Algerian forward is worth betting on to do just that. After all, he has notched three goals in his last four starts for Leverkusen.

Our Bayer Leverkusen vs Marseille Prediction
There's been lots ot like about the way that Ibrahim Maza has performed of late. The in-form forward has not only had his shooting boots on, but more importantly, he's looked hungry for goals. If he shows the same appetite against a Marseille team has not defended well, in the league or in Europe, then the Algerian could add to what is rapidly becoming an impressive scoring record.
Averaging 3.00 shots per game in his last four starts, Maza could easily be a little less leniently priced. Value seekers should take anything above +190.
Our Leverkusen vs Marseille Pick: Ibrahim Maza to Score.
