A lot of pressure on the shoulders of Marseille before this Europa League match at home, the first in a series of three against Amsterdam, then Rennes and Lyon. Olympique de Marseille is in its infancy with a 14th place in Ligue 1, only three points behind the first play-off and poor performances which follow one another. But paradoxically, Gattuso’s men are at the top of their Europa League group after the two victories against the “friends” of AEK Athens. A victory against Ajax would even ensure they qualify for the final table of the competition. But watch out for Ajax opposite, who after a catastrophic start to the season, are in the process of getting back on track as evidenced by this 5-0 victory in the league against Vitesse Arnheim last weekend.
