Marseille vs Ath Bilbao Prediction & Tips
Olympique de Marseille wants to use this Europa League to revive the machine and regain the joy of victory. Private success since February 18 and a victory in front of Bordeaux (1-0), Marseille has just chained 3 defeats in Braga (1-0) and against PSG (3-0 and 3-0) in the Coupe de France and in Ligue 1. This Sunday, Florian Thauvin saved the club from Marseille a fourth straight loss by equalizing against Nantes (1-1) in overtime (90 + 5). A draw full of hope for the formation of Rudi Garcia who will want to win against Bilbao during this 1 / 8th go. Undefeated at home in the Europa League, OM still beat Konyaspor (1-0), Vitoria Guimaraes (2-1) and Sporting Braga (3-0) and then settled for a draw in front of Salzburg (0 -0) at the Velodrome. Athletic Bilbao, 14th Liga, sinks into the bottom of the rankings following a bad dynamic. The Basque club has just taken 4 points out of 12 following good performances against Malaga (2-1) and Valencia (1-1) in San Mamés.

With 2 wins (FC Zorya Luhansk, Spartak Moscow) and 2 draws (Hertha, Ostersunds) away on the European stage, the Basque club is solid but this move in the hot Olympian atmosphere could mark the first misstep of the Spanish training outside in C3 this season.
