UEFA Europa League Salzburg – Marseille 3 May 2018

Salzburg – Marseille Europa League

D-Day for Olympique de Marseille. The club has been looking forward to a European Cup final since 2004. A win, a draw or even a defeat but not more than 2 goals against Salzburg for this semi-final return of Europa League would qualify OM for the final match before the coronation. But for that, the men of Rudi Garcia will have to fight with all their strength. While the result of the first leg at Stade Vélodrome (2-0) gives them a big advantage, but history, especially in the Champions League has shown that everything is possible in football and that everything can happen, turnarounds to the score for example. Marseille players will have to redouble their vigilance. But if Dimitri Payet or Florian Thauvin are in top form, as we have seen in the first leg, then there should be no problem for them to reach the final at Parc OL Lyon.

So who can win?
