Marseille is one of the main favorites of the Conference League. Sampaoli’s men is 2nd is in the Ligue 1, and has an experienced first team, and the style of play aimed at ball possession.

The Dark-Whites lost to Panathinaikos 1-2 in Athens in the Super League and fell behind Olympiacos by 11 points in the standings. The prospect of crushing the champion’s dominance in Greece is almost impossible. Rizvan Lucescu had created a solid fighting team, but against the background of Marseille and his fans, the future Greek vice-champion is still not big enough, and they do not have players of the level and experience of Dimitri Payet.
The teams have never crossed paths before. We bet here on the victory of Marseille. The hosts are in great shape, noisy fans and the Velodrome are completely wild when support them, while the lineup is more experienced and of higher level (Genduzi, Payet, Harit, Kolasinac, Dieng). Ative pressure without the ball, as well as pressure in all directions at an intense pace should bring the hosts not only advantage in possession but also in the shoreline.
Prediction for the match: Marseille to win.
