The Italians are up against a seasoned opponent following their unexpected triumph over Liverpool

Marseille endured a penalty shootout against Benfica and narrowly avoided squandering a four-goal advantage against Villarreal to secure their place in the semifinals. Managed by Jean-Louis Gasset, who took over from Gennaro Gattuso during his dismissal from Ivory Coast duties during mid-Africa Cup of Nations, Marseille, have reached the Europa League final on three occasions but have yet to claim the championship trophy.

In their inaugural European semi-final appearance, Atalanta travels to the southern region of France for the opening leg of their match against Marseille on Thursday. Under Gian Piero Gasperini’s leadership, Atalanta’s impressive journey in the competition persists, highlighted by a surprising victory over Liverpool in the quarterfinals. The outcome remains highly unpredictable, allowing Atalanta to dare to dream of progressing to the final stage.

Players to watch out

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Marseille)

Aubameyang has emerged as a consistent bright spot, maintaining his goal-scoring efficiency with an impressive tally of 27 goals across all competitions, along with 11 assists. He added another goal to his name in the last match of the Ligue 1 against Lens and now looks to his teammates to provide the necessary support to secure victory in this pivotal match. He is also the Europa League’s all-time top goalscorer and will look to add more to this tally.

Gianluca Scamacca (Atalanta)

Scamacca stands tall as a right-footed centre-forward renowned for his goal-scoring, his explosive physical strength and potent shot enable him to find the back of the net from various positions, including from within and outside the penalty area, often with acrobatic first-time shots. The Europa League quarter-final matches against Liverpool highlighted Scamacca at his finest. His two goals at Anfield, one of them executed with effortless finesse, capped off a remarkable performance.
