Olympique Marseille and Lazio will meet on November 04th, Thursday, in a Europa League football game in Marseille at the Orange Velodrome in the fourth fascinating Group E contest. The two continental giants played out a drab goalless stalemate on matchday three.
Currently, Marseille is in 3rd place in the group with 3 points all 3 earned by draws with the team managed by Jorge Sampaoli on a barren goal scoring run. Marseille remain undefeated in the 2021-22 Europa League, but the three stalemates from their opening three contests sees Sampaoli’s side sit third.
In the last 4 matches of the home team, only 3 goals were scored and over the past six weeks, have also failed to score against Angers, Galatasaray, Lille and Paris Saint-Germain. Les Olympiens now come from a 25tth-minute Cengiz Under goal in the weekend’s match against Clermont in Ligue 1.
Marseille will welcome Lazio to the Orange Velodrome unbeaten in five across all competitions – conceding just twice in that solid run.
On the other hand, Lazio come from a draw in the last round against Atalanta in a thrilling match that ended with a score of 2-2. Ciro Immobile was impressive in this encounter and was close to taking the squad to a victory.
Lazio are now in the 2nd place with 4 points after a draw in the matchday one before the victory in the matchday 2 against Lokomotiv Moscow. Matchday 3 was not in their favor and they lost to Galatasaray and they are now three points adrift of the leaders a risk of missing out on an expected first-place finish in the group.
