Olympique de Marseille travels to Villarreal this Thursday in the round of 16 second leg of the Europa League (6:45 p.m.). Here is all the essential information on this match.
Who will stop Olympique de Marseille? Since the arrival of Jean-Louis Gasset to fill the sidelines of Gennaro Gattuso, the Marseille club has had a string of convincing results. Placed at the foot of the top 5 in Ligue 1, the Gasset version of OM, which is riding a series of 5 consecutive victories, should also have a European spring.
For this, the Marseillais will have to finish the job at Villarreal. After its great first leg success a week ago (4-0), OM are in a very favorable position. But Jean-Louis Gasset and his men want to avoid any excess confidence against an opponent who remains unpredictable. This meeting could also confirm the resounding return to form of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who has been piling up goals like pearls for a month and can boast of being the top scorer in the history of the Europa League.
The expected compositions
Villarreal: Reina – Mandi, Bailly, Mosquera, Cuenca – Akhomach, Coquelin, Parejo, Baena – Guedes, Moreno.
Marseille : Lopez – Clauss, Mbemba, Balerdi, Merlin – Kondogbia, Veretout, Harit – Sarr, Ndiaye, Aubameyang.
