Marseille vs Brighton Prediction & Betting Tips (5 October)

This is one of the great posters from the 2nd day of the Europa League group stage! Olympique de Marseille and Brighton will face each other at the Stade Vélodrome this Thursday at 6:45 p.m. A meeting not to be missed in this group B. The Marseille club has just launched a new cycle, with the arrival of Gennaro Gattuso on its sidelines. He has just suffered a defeat against AS Monaco, for his first time at the head of the Marseille team, 3-2.

For its part, Brighton just took a big blow to the head last weekend. He suffered a very heavy setback on the lawn of Aston Villa 6-1. The English club will want to raise their heads for this new day of C3.

OM should still have to do without recruits Ruiz and Sarr, still uncertain for the next meetings. Returning on loan from Sevilla, Pape Gueye is suspended for FIFA for a transfer problem. For the forces present, we find the summer recruits who have made a rather good impression recently: Aubameyang, author of a double against Ajax for the first day, Correa, Renan Lodi and Ndiaye. Captain Rongier, the solid Mbemba, and the scorer Vitinha will also be at the disposal of the new OM coach, Gattuso. The English had to part with important elements in the off-season, notably Mac Allister who left for Liverpool, Caicedo and goalkeeper Sanchez left for Chelsea.

To compensate for these departures, intelligent recruitment was put in place and is already bearing fruit: Fati arrived on loan, Joao Pedro, Baleba (from Lille), and goalkeeper Verbruggen joined the club. These recruits are joined by high quality players, notably in attack made up of the explosive Mitoma or the young Ferguson, author of a hat-trick against Newcastle. In defense, the Ecuadorian Estupinan made a perfect start to the season, and in the middle we find the luxury replacement Dahoud, behind the holders March, Gross and Gilmour. In terms of absences, Dunk, Enciso and Moder are currently uncertain for the match.
