Europa League Betting Tips: Atalanta vs Marseille
Atalanta and Marseille lock horns in Bergamo on Thursday night for the second leg of their Europa League semi-final clash, with a place in the final in Dublin on the line.
Gian Piero Gasperini’s men have enjoyed a remarkable run in the competition, with their stunning 3-0 victory at Anfield against tournament favourites Liverpool in the quarter-finals putting Europe on notice. After holding Marseille to a 1-1 draw in the first leg, they will be confident in their chances of reaching a maiden European final. Though La Dea are on track to qualify for the Champions League through Serie A, the Europa League presents a glorious opportunity to claim their first-ever European trophy.
Atalanta in the Europa League are a goalscoring machine, with 19 goals in 11 games (averaging 1.73 per game). At home, La Dea have been particularly strong, scoring at least three goals in three of their last six victories at the Gewiss Stadium. This potent attack should inspire confidence that they can overpower the visitors and secure victory.
Marseille, on the other hand, are driven by a different kind of motivation. Currently sitting eighth in Ligue 1 with limited European qualification hopes through domestic channels, winning the Europa League represents their most viable path back to continental football next season. So, the French side shouldn’t lack motivation on Thursday. Victory would also represent a chance for redemption for Marseille, having lost in three previous UEFA Cup/Europa League finals (1999, 2004, and 2018).
The visitors also boast firepower to rival the hosts with 27 goals in 13 games at an average of 2.08 goals per game. However, concerns abound at the defensive end, especially on the road, with L’OM conceding at least twice in their last five away trips.
Betting Tip: Over 2.5 Goals

Firepower is not lacking in this tie. Atalanta have averaged 1.73 goals per game in the Europa League, while Marseille come in slightly higher at 2.08 goals per game. With Marseille conceding at least twice in their last five away games and Atalanta scoring at least three goals in three of their last six home wins, the stage is set for a high-scoring encounter.
Additionally, over 80% of both teams’ games in the Europa League have seen more than 1.5 goals scored, including the first leg that ended in a 1-1 draw.
