Marseille take on Atalanta on the fourth matchday of the UEFA Champions League league phase. Both sides have won just once in three games and are separated by a point in the standings.
Roberto de Zerbi’s Marseille are coming off a 1-0 Ligue 1 win at Auxerre at the weekend, with both teams finishing with 10 men. Angel Gomez’s strike at the hour mark for the visitors turned out to be the game’s only goal. Auxerre couldn’t capitalize on Ulisses Garcia’s dismissal for OM midway through the second half and saw Sinaly Diomande getting dismissed in stoppage time.
OM, who are second in their domestic league, now turn their attention to Europe. They lost 2-1 at Sporting CP on matchday three, finishing with 10 men, dropping to 18th in the points table with three points from as many outings.
Meanwhile, Ivan Juric’s Atalanta are fresh off a 1-0 Serie A loss at Udinese at the weekend. Nicolo Zaniolo’s 40th-minute strike at the Bluenergy Stadium sunk La Dea, who dominated possession (62%) but had no shots on target.
The Italian side are 11th in the points table, with four points from three games, winning one.
