Marseille vs Benfica Prediction & Betting tips
Stade VĂ©lodrome will host the match between Marseille and Benfica on Thursday evening at 20:00, a match that is part of the second leg of the quarter-finals of the Europa League. The round match was played a week ago, when Benfica won 2-1. The most frequent result encountered in direct confrontations between the two teams is 2-1, four times registering these results. The previous battle for qualification took place in the round of 16 and then Benfica qualified further after 1-1 in the home round and 2-1 away victory.
Marseille:
Marseille is going through a very weak period, one of the weakest in the history of the club, having five consecutive defeats, two in the Europa League and three in a row in Ligue 1. Marseille, like the other French teams qualified in the European cups, did not play in last weekend, so he had a whole week at his disposal to prepare this return match. With the goal scored a week ago by Aubameyang, Marseille has a good chance of qualifying for the semi-finals, but needs a victory by two goals. In the next match, Marseille will play away in Ligue 1 against Toulouse.
Benfica:
On the other hand, Benfica knows that the chances of winning the title in Portugal are quite small, with five rounds before the end of the season, having a disadvantage of seven points against the rival Sporting, so all hopes are to play the semi-final of the Europa League. At the weekend, Benfica played a perfect match in the championship, winning 3-0 at home against Moreirense. Benfica’s next match will be away in the championship against SC Farense.
