Olympique Marseille vs FC Red Bull Salzburg Soccer Prediction Today
Olympique Marseille
Olympique Marseille is currently in a kind of dichotomy. For one thing, the southern French can still reach a CL qualifying place in Ligue 1, on the other hand, with a Europa League victory, a fixed place in the group stage of the upcoming season in the premier class possible. In the table you are currently on par with the table 3. from Lyon on rank 4 has collected 69 points so far. From the rear threatens no more danger, the table-5. Nice has 19 points behind with 4 games left. Accordingly, one can go quite free in this Europa League game. In terms of personnel, we still see the home side in this knockout duel with Salzburg as a slight advantage. Above all, this applies to the defensive, where with Rami or Sakai quite sounding names are to be found. The latter is expected to fail on Thursday but retired at the dress rehearsal against Lille. Speaking of which, Marseille impressively showed how well they are in good shape at the moment: Rudi Garcia’s team swept past the relegation candidates 5: 1. This extended a strong series in Ligue 1 and has not lost any of the last 4 games, celebrating 3 wins. Before the runaway win against Lille, there was a close 2: 3 against Troyes, a 0-0 win over Montpellier and a 3-1 win against FC Dijon. The fact that they have problems especially on the defensive, shows the fact that the mentioned game against Montpellier was the only in the last 8 rounds of the highest French league, in which Marseille did not have to accept at least one goal. Which also brings us to the results in the Europa League. The French eliminated in the quarterfinals Salzburg’s “sister club” from Leipzig, won the home game 5-2, after the away match with 0: 1 was lost. Even in the Europa League, however, you have conceded at least one goal in the last 5 games. In addition, they did not have too good experiences with Salzburg in 2017/2018. In Group I, it was enough at home only to a 0-0 against the Thursday opponent, the away match was even lost 0-1. Results that would logically mean the end in this semi-final. Strong: Out of 17 home games in Ligue 1, Marseille have won 10 and only lost 2. In the Europa League you are still unbeaten in the entire season. The fact is that Marseille has been undefeated in home matches since September 2017 at home. In addition to the still questionable Sakai but also the injured Mandanda and Kamara will be missing.
RB Salzburg
Salzburg is certainly the biggest surprise in the semi-final of the Europa League. The fact that you could defeat your opponent from France in this international season is certainly not a disadvantage. However, Marseille has certainly developed in comparison to the former games. The same can be said of Salzburg. The fact is that the “bulls” are always good for a goal, as they have already shown in the away games against Sociead (1: 2), Borussia Dortmund (2: 1) and Lazio (2: 4). That three teams from 3 out of the top 4 leagues in Europe could be eliminated should be enough warning for Marseille. Stark: Salzburg have lost just one of their last 17 matches in the Europa League, just that away against Lazio. We therefore see absolutely the opportunity to succeed in Marseille. The fact is that you could cheer on a goal in 7 of 10 games in the previous Europa League season, accordingly, a bet on at least one match for both teams seems to be an absolutely promising option. In the championship, it was for the team of Marco Rose away a little worse than at home. Only 2 defeats had to be suffered in the previous 31 games, both, however, in a foreign country, so happened against the LASK (0: 1) and also against the SK Sturm Graz (0: 1). Also, with 29 goals away, they were by far not as successful as at home (41). Important: With Diadije Samassekou on Thursday an enormously important Abräumer in the midfield after his suspension to return to the team, at all, the guests can according to current information stand in best lineup. If Lazio is eliminated with a 4-1 victory, they will not have to worry about an away game in Marseille. We still see the strengths of the Salzburgers in the pressing game, as they are characterized by their enormous commitment and their early attacking. In 5 of the last 6 games in the Europa League, the Rose protégés even get 2 hits in 90 minutes. With a similar yield you would probably be more than happy on Thursday. However, they have also scored at least one goal in 5 of the last 6 games, another indicator that both teams will be successful in Marseille. There could be problems for Salzburg on the outside line, where with Florian Thauvin the absolute top player of the opponent will be found, who will deal with his pace Salzburg left-back Andreas Ulmer with certainty.
