Frequent changes in coaches haven’t helped Marseille achieve acceptable results at home. The team has been in a state of turbulence all season and currently occupies the intermediate seventh place in the Ligue 1 table, risking missing out on European competitions next season. However, Marseille continues to steadily progress towards the decisive match in the Europa League. First, the team emerged from a tough group, and in the playoffs, they managed to defeat Shakhtar, Villarreal, and Benfica.
As for Atalanta, they have recently undergone personnel changes, which have slightly affected their results. However, Gasperini’s team is still in contention for a Champions League spot next season and holds their fate in their own hands. Additionally, Atalanta has already reached the final of the Coppa Italia, where they will compete for the trophy against Juventus. In the Europa League playoffs, the Bergamo side overcame Sporting Lisbon and sensationally knocked out the formidable Liverpool.
