Marseille team overview
Last season, Marseille finished 5th, missing out on Champions League Qualifiers by only one point. During the offseason, the club opted for a coaching change and appointed Bruno Genesio as the new head coach. However, the start under the new coach has been a disaster. The Olympians won their first game but lost the next five, including a Europa League match against Besiktas.
But it seems that the international break came at the right moment since they won their first game after it, beating Troyes 2:0 away from home. After the game, coach Genesio spoke to the media. He said it was an important win, not only because of the points, but also for the confidence. However, the coach acknowledged it wasn't their best match, but "will gladly settle for the three points".
As for injuries, the team should have no new ones, but Derek Cornelius and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg should remain sidelined.

Olympiacos team overview
Last season, Olympiacos finished 2nd, failing to win their 49th domestic league title. This season had an interesting start given their elimination from the Champions League Qualifiers by NEC. That eventually led to the sacking of coach José Luis Mendilibar and the appointment of Imanol Alguacil. The new coach started his tenure with a loss, but then went on to win three in a row, including the first EL game vs Jagiellonia and the last game against their arch-nemesis, Panathinaikos. It seems the Greek side is slowly improving as the season progresses and is definitely among the candidates to secure the next phase of the Europa League.
After a 1:0 win over Panathinaikos, coach Imanol Alguacil spoke to the media. The coach was satisfied with the result and the overall performance, especially before the red card. Still, he was cautious, saying they cannot celebrate too much due to the European fixture approaching.
Regarding injuries, the team should have no new injuries, but Yusuf Yazici and Ayoub El Kaabi should remain sidelined with their injuries.

Prediction
Marseille won the last game 2:0 against Troyes, but lost five games before that win. One of those losses was a massive 4:1 against Besiktas in the Europa League. Their defense struggled massively this season, allowing 12 goals in seven games - 1.71 per game!
Olympiacos, on the other hand, lost just once in 11 games across competitions. However, they looked good even in that match (vs OFI Crete) and deserved at least a draw. Also, on the road, they were excellent, winning three out of five games.
Additionally, unlike Marseille, Olympiacos won their first EL game - 2:1 vs Jagiellonia.
Considering all the above, we believe Olympiacos should secure at least one point in this Europa League tie.
3 Reasons why Olympiacos should win or draw
- Marseille lost five out of seven games this season
- Marseille conceded 1.7 goals per game this season
- Olympiacos lost once in 11 games
