Prediction Of 2023/2024 Europa League Match Marseille Vs Brighton: Two Teams Injured Match

JAKARTA - The match between two teams was injured when Olympique Marseille hosted Brighton & Hove Albion in Group B of the Europa League at the Velodrome Stadium, Thursday, October 5 at 23.45 WIB. Marseille, which is handled by the new coach Gennaro Gattuso, hopes to take advantage of its profits when acting as the host.

Bad results in the French Ligue 1 competition made Marseille sack coach Marcelino. His position was replaced by Jacques Abardonado as interim coach until Gattuso handled Les Olympiens.

On the way to the domestic competition, Marseille were slaughtered by Paris Saint-Germain 4-0. Gattuso's debut with Marseille has not paid off sweetly because they lost 3-2 to Monaco.

The result made Marseille win only once from seven Ligue 1 matches. They are only ranked 12th in the standings.

The performance of Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang et al in European competitions is also much satisfying. The team always failed to get through the preliminary round both when competing in the Champions League and Europa League.

In the Europa League, Marseille has won only once from 16 matches. Including when they drew 3-3 against Ajax Amsterdam this season.

This is certainly Gattuso's tough task because the former AC Milan player and coach must make a total improvement and how to win the hearts of supporters.

The match against Brighton is an opportunity for Gattuso to restore the image of Marseille as the winning team. Moreover, they played at home.

The problem is, Brighton is not a light opponent for Marseille. Although this is the first time competing in European competitions, The Seagulls should be wary of its strength.

Brighton is indeed experiencing a decline. In the inaugural match in the Europa League, Brighton, who acted as the host, was forced to give up AEK Athens 3-2.

Whereas in the previous match in the English Premier League competition, they slaughtered Manchester United 3-1 at Old Trafford.

The Europa League defeat seems to have had a big impact on the mentality of the players. Despite having risen by beating Bournemouth 3-1, they were then beaten 1-0 by Chelsea in the Carabao Cup and then beaten by Aston Villa 6-1 in domestic competitions. This is for the first time Brighton have lost up to six goals.

In the match against Marseille, Brighton coach Roberto De Zerbi lost mainstay players, captain Lewis Dunk and Pascal Gross. The veteran James Milner player could not be fielded. However, De Zerbi remains optimistic about facing Marseille in that match.
