Olympique Marseille vs Salzburg Prediction 26 April 2018

On April 26 2018 at 20:05 at the Stade Velodrome in Marseille in the forthcoming match of the UEFA Europa League semifinal the local Olympique are playing against their guests Salzburg.

Nobody actually expected to see these teams in the semifinal of the Europa League. Salzburg have a manager who used to be just a blogger not long ago and now he is in the semifinal of the Euro Cup with the team like Salzburg. The victory against Lazio was actually like one in a million and yet they managed to do it. As for Marseille, they kept on outplaying their competitors and they always did it with some handicap.

The fact that the teams are very unexpected makes it rather difficult to predict who are going to win this time. Yet, there is one thing both teams have in common and it’s the fact that they both score a lot. Marseille played 6 matches in the play0offs of the Europa League and in four of those games they scored three or more goals as there were 3:0, 3:1, 1:2 and 5:2 scores while two games which remain were the away ones. It actually means that their domestic games are very efficient. As for Salzburg, they aren’t worse in this aspect. In 5 of their 6 matches there were three or more goals scored (2:2, 2:1, 1:2, 4:2, 4:1). There was only one game with less than three goals and that game was a home one and it means that they score a lot in their away games.

In general, both teams score really a lot and the facts we have already mentioned make us think that there will be comparatively a lot of goals scored.
