Former Europa League champions Villarreal face a daunting task as they aim to overturn a four-goal deficit against Marseille. The first leg saw Marseille dominate with a 4-0 win, leaving Villarreal with a challenging task at home. Despite a recent league victory over Real Betis, Villarreal faces immense pressure to progress but will need a miraculous turnaround to do so.
After their first-leg victory, Marseille continued their winning streak with a 2-0 win over Nantes, totaling five consecutive wins in all competitions. Their resurgence in Ligue 1 positions them well for a top-five finish, yet progressing in the Europa League remains a priority for additional European qualification. Despite optimism following their first-leg success, Marseille struggles on the road in UEFA competitions, winning only two of their last nine away matches, drawing two and losing five.
West Ham must avoid a slow start like against Burnley. With European advancement at stake, Moyes' reshuffled team is expected to start aggressively. While Freiburg poses an offensive threat, West Ham's potent attack should overpower them. We believe the Irons will overturn their first-leg deficit and secure a spot in the quarter-finals.
