Benfica Lisbon vs Marseille Prediction & Picks - Europa League
by Drew Williamson | in Soccer Picks
This Europa League quarter-final is eagerly anticipated. Benfica Lisbon and Marseille (OM) will clash for a spot in the final four of the UEFA Europa League. The Portuguese team will host this first leg match up at Estádio da Luz this Thursday at 9:00 PM. Currently sitting in 2nd place in the Portuguese Liga, Benfica Lisbon are eager to kick off the Europa League quarter-finals with a resounding victory. They are favored to win the first match. On the other hand, Marseille has been struggling in recent weeks, losing their last three games in Ligue 1 play. This has caused them slip back to 8th place in the Ligue 1 standings. It's difficult to envision them regaining their confidence, at least enough to come away with a win in the Portuguese capital.
