Marseille – Bilbao – UEFA Europa League

Marseille ranks third in the Ligue 1 ranking, with 56 points accumulating in 28 championship games. Frenchman F. Thauvin is the team’s top scorer in the championship, managing to score 16 times so far. The hosts are in a very weak form, with only one point in the last two championship games, after the home draw with Nantes (score 1-1). Marseille also left the French Cup after a defeat defeat in front of the PSG rival, score 3-0. In the previous round, the French managed to qualify to the detriment of the Braga. The hosts can not rely on this rugged Kostas Mitroglou duel.

On the other side, Bilbao is ranked 14th in the league’s first league in Spain, with the team managing to score 32 points after 27 stages. Spaniard A. Aduriz is the best scorer of the team in the championship, with the 8 goals scored so far. The guests have alternating evolutions in the championship, with 4 points accumulated in the last 3 games. After the draw with Valencia (score 1-1), the Basques ceded the previous round on the Sevilla field with a score of 2-0. Mikel Balenziaga, Iker Muniain, and Mikel Rico will not travel because of medical problems.

Marseille – Bilbao Europa League Prediction

This duel faces two teams out of shape, and the players’ morale is definitely low in both camps. The hosts managed to score only one goal in the last 4 official games, winning instead not less than 8 goals. On the other side, Bilbao has only 2 successes recorded in the last 11 official games. It is quite difficult to predict a winner in such a duel, so I will choose this time for goals based solely on goals.
