The return leg quarter-finals of the Europa League are taking place this Thursday! Starting at 3:00 PM Eastern, we'll notably witness the match between Olympique de Marseille and Benfica Lisbon. This encounter will be held in Marseille at the Stade Vélodrome. Everything remains open before this second leg. In the first leg, OM only lost by one goal away (2-1). They will attempt to turn the tide in front of their fans now. Despite being only 9th in Ligue 1, the Marseille club can still rely on the competition's top scorer: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. He'll need to step up to help his team overcome Benfica Lisbon, who currently sits in 2nd place in the Portuguese Liga.

Marseille - Benfica Lisbon: Form Analysis

OM is going through a very tough period. They have suffered defeats in their last 5 matches, across all competitions. The Marseille club notably has had 3 consecutive losses in Ligue 1. This poor run has pushed them back to 9th place in the standings. However, Jean-Louis Gasset's team showed promising signs in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final against Benfica Lisbon, despite their loss (2-1). They are still in the game before the second leg and have had time to recharge, as they didn't play last weekend. Benfica Lisbon only has the Europa League to focus on for the remainder of the season. The Lisbon club is currently in 2nd position in the Portuguese Liga, trailing Sporting Portugal by 4 points, although Sporting has played one game less. Roger Schmidt's men were also knocked out just before the final of the Portuguese Cup by the league leaders.

Marseille & Benfica Lisbon Squad Analysis

OM has not been spared from physical setbacks this season. For this Europa League quarter-final return leg, they will still be without Jonathan Clauss, Valentin Rongier, and Bilal Nadir. However, there's one player who has been the center of attention since the beginning of the Marseille season. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has scored 25 goals in all competitions. He is the top scorer in this Europa League and even managed to score the only goal for his team in the first leg in Portugal. On the other hand, Benfica Lisbon will have their full squad for this second leg of the quarter-finals. Obviously, Angel Di Maria will be the player to watch given his Champions League experience. The former PSG player will aim to make an impact at the Stade Vélodrome. He has already done so in the first leg by scoring the second goal for his team.
