The French outfit are going through a poor run of form at the moment
Marseille are currently going through a difficult time, losing five consecutive matches. There seems to be a lack of confidence in the team who lack some inspiration at the moment. Aubameyang has been the sole fighter for the team in these matches who has managed to score some goals to keep the team in contention. To remain victorious in this match and qualify for the next round, the others need to step up.
With their performance this season, Benfica, on the other hand, have impressed everyone as they have progressed one step closer to the Europa League semi-final after a 2-1 victory in the first leg. In the current season, they are currently second in the league, behind Sporting, who are leading at the top. The season is still far from over, as we have seen in previous matches.

Friday, 19 April at 12:30 AM IST
Location- Orange Vélodrome, Marseille
Form:
Marseille (in all competitions): L-L-L-L-L
Benfica (in all competitions): W-W-L-D-W
Player to Watch
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Marseille)
Aubameyang has been one of the positive performers for the team in their poor run of form. He has continued his goal scoring form in impressive fashion netting 25 goals all competitions while providing 9 for the team. He managed to pull one goal for the team in the first leg and will hope his teammates can provide him the services to help his side win this crucial match.
Angel Di Maria (Benfica)
Angel Di Maria is a clutch master who is known for scoring on big occasions. Everything seems to be in his stride to continue his good run of form after netting the winner in the first leg. After signing for the club this summer, he has scored 16 goals while laying on 11 assists for his teammates. He will likely aim to play a major part in the team’s push for the Europa League triumph.
