Atlanta continue their search for a first win since September when they visit Marseille for a Champions League clash this week. Only one point separates the two sides with the French side in 18th place and Atalanta in 17th. The hosts are slight favourites to win, given their good European record at home but Atalanta will be feeling confident after avoiding defeat in their last two Champions League games.

Marseille team overview
Marseille rose from eighth place in the previous campaign to second place last season, and are on track to challenge Paris Saint-Germain for the league title this season.
Roberto De Zerbi’s team are currently only two points off the top and beat the record champions, PSG, two weeks ago. They have not quite been at their best in Europe this season with Les Olympiens boasting just one win from their three games. However, their sole victory was at home and are they have been difficult to beat at the Estádio da Luz.
Marseille are unbeaten in their last ten home games, with nine wins, and beat Ajax 4-0 in their only Champions League home game so far this season.
Ulisses Garcia’s red card in last weekend's win over Auxerre won't result in a European ban, but Amine Gouiri, Facundo Medina, Hamed Traoré, Geoffrey Kondogbia and Timothy Weah are all injured.

Atalanta team overview
Having not lost any of their first four matches of the season — indeed, recording two wins and two draws — Atalanta seemed prepared to challenge for the Scudetto.
These hopes were quickly dashed, however as they failed to win any of their last six league games and dropped to tenth.
Ivan Jurić's team began their European campaign with a humiliating 4:0 defeat away to Paris Saint-Germain, but responded by beating Club Brugge 2:1 at home.
They failed to overcome Slavia Praha on matchday 3, managing only a goalless draw in Italy, and they will be looking to bounce back on Wednesday.
Atalanta have several players out injured, including Marten de Roon, Giorgio Scalvini, Sead Kolasinac and Mitchel Bakker.

Prediction
Marseille's sequence of ten consecutive home european games without defeat may continue - but not in the way fans of Les Olympiens would wish.
Aside from the narrow 1-0 defeat to Udinese last weekend, Atalanta have avoided defeat in their last ten matches across all competitions, so the Goddess can collect a point in a 2-2 draw.
Three reasons we expect both teams to score in this game
- Atalanta have kept a clean sheet in just one of their six away games this season.
 - Marseille kept a clean sheet in just one of their last five games.
 - Both teams scored in four of the last six European games of Atalanta.
