Atalanta vs Marseille Preview
The upcoming UEFA Europa League (UEL) fixture of Atalanta vs Marseille will be the second leg of the semi-final encounter between both sides. The clubs belonging to Seria A and Ligue 1 respectively have a golden opportunity to progress into the finals of the prestigious competition.
In the first leg, the French and the Italian clubs drew the game as the aggregate score moving into the second leg stands at 1-1. However, Atalanta is termed to be the favorites moving into the tie as they will be playing in front of their home crowd in the penultimate leg of the semi-final after doing well to grab a draw in the first leg’s away-from-clash at Marseille in France.
Both teams are quite evenly matched on the paper when it comes to their strength and weaknesses. Both of them possess some real attacking threat with front players like Ismaila Sarr, and Ademola Lookman at their disposal. The result might come down to the closing stages of the match as the team holding their nerve better could edge the tie. All in all the clash promises to be a nail-biting thriller between two teams looking for a place in the UEL finals after doing all the hard work to reach this stage.
