Atalanta take on the visitors Marseille in the second leg of UEFA Europa League semifinals. First leg result: 1-1. The match will be played on Thursday, April 9th at Gewiss Stadium (Bergamo).
Atalanta can achieve a triple success. The Bergamo team is closest to triumph in the Italian Cup. There, they, having lost 0-1 in the first semifinal match in Florence, defeated Fiorentina at home. However, in the decisive match, there will be Juventus, which has defeated Gasperini's charges on multiple occasions. In Serie A, everything is still very confusing, but it is worth remembering that even the 5th place in Italy will be Champions League, and it is quite possible to finish the tournament there. Well, in the Europa League, the Goddess fully justifies its loud nickname. In 2023, returning to the international arena after a year-long break, the club from Bergamo won the group. And then confidently passed Lisbon's Sporting and Liverpool in the playoffs, even with a rout of Klopp's charges away. In France, they also quickly opened the score. But they limited themselves to that and allowed the hosts to equalize.

Marseille did not claim that they would challenge PSG. But in both previous seasons, they closed the top-3 in the local Ligue 1. But this season, something similar is far from happening – Marcelino worked briefly, Gattuso was removed, and there are questions about Gasset, as the club risks not even getting into the European cup zone due to extremely weak and unstable results at home. But the French turned out to be good in the Europa League format, especially at home. There they managed to beat Donetsk's Shakhtar 3-1, Villarreal 4-0, and Benfica 1-0 – with the latter, however, it eventually came to penalty shootouts, fortunately, Pau Lopez saved 2. But now everything will be decided away, and in away matches, Aubameyang and company in the playoffs drew in Hamburg with miners on practically neutral ground, after which they lost both in Spain and Portugal. With the Italians at the Velodrome, they only managed to draw 1-1, responding with their goal to the conceded one.
Last Thursday, the sides played against each other for the first time. The Goddess was no worse away. And now she should use the advantages she has and achieve victory in the regular time of the match.
Prediction for the match: Atalanta to win.
