Another upheaval of the sports staff is hardly beneficial for Marseille.
Mentally, it could be an advantage for the visitors, but Marseille are a difficult nut to crack on their own turf.
The hosts are undefeated in home games this Europa League campaign, with two victories and one tie. Moreover, Marseille have a 15-match home unbeaten run (W9, D6).
We predict a Marseille win or draw. We are confident that they will draw at least here.
If you are looking for a sure bet, you can pick this one.
Prediction: Marseille win or draw
The first leg saw a over 3.5 goal scored.
However, we expect a tough and tight battle here. Both sides will try to be careful in their defence.
We say under 3.5 goals.
Betting Tip: Under 3.5
Shakhtar Donetsk salvaged a draw against Marseille with an injury-time goal in the Europa League playoff first-leg match.
To say that one side dominated another would be wrong, it was an equal battle, and the draw result was fair.
Marseille are heading into this match with a new coach. The French side have sacked Gennaro Gattuso as their manager and replaced him with Jean-Louis Gasset.
This time the cup of patience overflowed, as Marseille lost to Brest this weekend in the French Ligue 1 matchup (0:1).
Marseille: Lopez; Clauss, Gigot, Balerdi, Merlin, Ounahi, Harit, Onana; Moumbagna, Aubameyang, Ndiaye
Shakhtar Donetsk: Riznyk; Gocholeishvili, Bondar, Lemkin, Matvienko; Stepanenko; Zubkov, Bondarenko, Sudakov, Eguinaldo; Sikan
