Marseille has played more European matches this season, and they had to play the qualifiers for Europa League. Leipzig as a vice-champion of Germany immediately jumped into the group stage of the Champions League, but failed to get to the round of sixteen. Both teams have lost one match in the knockout stage of Europa League one game and Leipzig had some more problems, which was expected because their opponents were more difficult. They had a similar situation in their championships and Marseille is the third and Leipzig's fourth. They have not met before this match

RB Leipzig

The series of six games without a loss clearly shows that Leipzig has been in a great form since the beginning of the season and they have not had such a successful time yet. Basically their form was oscillating and for this reason they were eliminated from the Champions League, and they were between the second and the sixth place on the first table. Two triumphs in Bundesliga have led them again to the positions that lead in the Champions League, and as for Europa League, they first eliminated Napoli, with an away win and home defeat, and then Zenit, which they defeated in Leipzig with 2-1, while they played a draw 1-1 as guests.

This has given them additional confidence and they defeated Bayern in the championship with 2-1, and then Hannover as guests in the last round with 3-2. When it comes to the composition of the match, we expect Upamecano to return to the center-back, because Orban has no right to play, and Sabitzer and Y.Poulsen may also jump in.

Probable lineups RB Leipzig: Gulacsi – Laimer, Upamecano, Konate, Bernardo – Keita, Demme – Sabitzer, Forsberg – Ti.Werner, Y.Poulsen

Olympique Marseille

Marseille did not play in the Champions League, and they lost a total of three games in Europa League and the result was 1-0 every time. In the group stage they were mastered by Salzburg and Guimaraes, while they were defeated by Braga in the sixteenth finals but after they celebrated in the first match on their field with 3-0. They had the hardest rivals in Europe this season in the round of sixteen, but they have played the best in those games, so Athletic Bilbao won both times. It was easier in the rematch after 3-1 on Velodrome, however, they did not relax at San Mames and with the triumph 2-1 they have reached the quarterfinals.

In the French championships they did not oscillate and were mostly qualified in third or fourth place, and they were third for a long time, with the proviso that Lyon is below them on the table with only two points less. Two rounds ago, they were defeated by the same team on their field with 3-2 after they took the lead and the third goal they received was in the last minute. Right back H.Sakai has a problem with injury, but the biggest problem is the injury of their best player Thauvin.

Probable lineups Olympique Marseille: Mandanda – Sarr, Rami, Rolando, Amavi – Luiz Gustavo, Kamara, Sanson – Ocampos, Payet – Germain

Verdict:

It can be said that these rivals are of equal quality and perhaps a slight advantage is on the side of Leipzig, who are the hosts and are in quite good form. However, Marseille also plays very well and they are able to revenge to the host, so we expect goals in both networks.

Pick:  both teams to score 1.75 - 75/100 @1XBet
