Gianluca Scamacca and Charles De Ketelaere are expected to start for Atalanta against Olympique Marseille in the first leg of the Europa League semifinals, while Giorgio Scalvini could start on the bench.

It kicks off at 20:00 UK time (GMt+1) at the Stade Velodrome in Marseille.

La Dea qualified for the semifinals by eliminating Liverpool in the previous round.

Scamacca and De Ketelaere started on the bench against Empoli on Sunday and are expected to start tonight, joining Teun Koopmeiners in a front-three.

Juan Musso will start in goal, as usual in European matches, but Italy international Scalvini is not fully fit having recently returned from an injury.

Therefore, Gian Piero Gasperini could start Marten de Roon in central defence and deploy Ederson and Mario Pasalic in central midfield.

Rafael Toloi, Emil Holm and Mitchel Bakker are unavailable due to injury and illness and Isak Hien is serving a one-match ban.

2 thought on “Europa League: Marseille vs. Atalanta – probable line-ups”
  1. A good line up for Atalanta, they should be keen over the Olympic marceille counter attacks.

  2. Bit stretched at the back. Could be trouble there.
    But at full strength, Atalanta should be favs overall.
