Latest news
Olympique Marseille
🎙 Marseille's head coach Roberto De Zerbi, discussing the upcoming match, expressed concern over the underestimation of the French league. "In my opinion, Ligue 1 is underrated because the French championship boasts very strong coaches and players. The stadiums are packed, and the fans are passionate. Serie A is still good, but I am at a loss for words about it," said De Zerbi.
🟥 Italian defender Emerson will miss the upcoming match due to suspension. He was sent off with two yellow cards in the third round of the Champions League against Sporting Lisbon.
❌ Argentine defender Leonardo Balerdi will be sidelined for the match against Atalanta due to a muscle injury. He sustained the injury during the ninth round of Ligue 1 in a game against Lens. Also on Marseille's injury list are Bilal Nadir and Timothy Weah.
Atalanta
❌ Atalanta's injury list isn't too crowded at the moment, with Mitchel Bakker, Giorgio Scalvini, and Sead Kolasinac sidelined. These players won't be able to assist their teammates in the upcoming match. However, the Atalanta coaching staff likely wasn't counting on them, as they've been out of action for quite some time.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The upcoming match will be officiated by Jose Maria Sanchez Martinez from Spain. On average, over a stretch of 100 matches, he hands out 4.66 yellow cards per game with 26 fouls. In the Champions League, the yellow card stats for the teams are as follows: Marseille average 3 per game, while Atalanta average 2. Both teams have been receiving numerous warnings this season, so we suggest betting on total yellow cards over 4.5.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Marseille's individual goal total in the Champions League averages 2 goals per match, while Atalanta's is 0.7. The scoring trends for our teams are as follows: the hosts average 3.3 goals, and the visitors average 2.3. Considering these statistics, we recommend betting on the match total over 2 goals.
🚩 Corner Prediction
In the Champions League, Marseille averages 1.7 corners per game, while Atalanta averages 4.7. Given that the French club has been reluctant to earn corner kicks this season, we suggest betting on Atalanta to win the corner count.
Editorial Prediction
Marseille always showcase confidence and strength on their home turf. This season, Roberto De Zerbi's side have played six matches at the Orange Vélodrome, winning five and drawing one. We believe that the home advantage will be a decisive factor in the upcoming clash, and Marseille will secure a 2-1 victory. Given the impressive home record of the French club, our main bet is on a home team handicap (0).
