Europa League
In the first leg, the teams couldn't determine the winner. Marseille was in the lead twice, but Shakhtar leveled the score. The last exchange of goals occurred in the 90th and 90+3 minutes, resulting in a 2-2 draw. Despite not playing their best, Marseille has not suffered a home defeat this season, having played 15 matches on their home turf in all competitions. Shakhtar has scored in all European Cup matches this season.
Olympique Marseille
The Provencals are having a weak season, especially when it comes to their home performance. The team has already been eliminated from the national cup, and in the league, they currently sit in ninth place. In the last Ligue 1 round, Marseille lost away to Brest with a score of 0-1, extending their winless streak in the top division to six matches. The club management decided that it was enough and dismissed head coach Gennaro Gattuso, appointing Jean-Louis Gasset as his replacement. It remains to be seen how the team will perform under the new coach, as the upcoming match is crucial.
Shakhtar Donetsk
The “Miners” had a two-month break after the winter holidays, so now the players need to get back into the season, which is not so easy. Shakhtar did not show their best in the first game, although all is not lost. Now they need to defeat a formidable but not very stable opponent in their own den to advance to the next round. The Ukrainian Premier League will resume soon, but at this stage, the team is focused on European competitions.
Prediction
An intense battle between two well-known clubs is expected, as both teams have not been displaying their best football, but advancing to the next round is crucial. Marseille is considered the favorite in this confrontation, but the outcome is not entirely clear. A reasonable bet appears to be Both Teams to Score - Yes, with odds at 1.79.
