Marseille will welcome Ajax to the Stade Velodrome for a one-on-one contest on matchday five of the Europa League, with kickoff slated for 20:00 GMT.
Key Highlights
Marseille are unbeaten in the four matches they have played in the group stage of the Europa League. They have drawn twice and won twice, collecting 8 points, enabling them to top the group table heading into the penultimate match of the group stage.
The Ligue 1 side need one more win to seal qualification from Group B. Heading into the home clash against Ajax, Marseille will focus on winning the match and ensuring that the final clash away to Brighton will potentially be a shootout for who tops the group going into the knockouts.
Ajax have had a wretched Europa League campaign, going winless in the four matches, drawing twice, and losing twice. The two points they have hauled place them firmly at the bottom of the group heading into the last two matches of the group.
Bet hereAjax still have a mathematical chance of qualifying; however, they will need to win the remaining two matches convincingly and hope that other results go their way.
Playing away to the Stade Velodrome is as touch an examination as they can get in the group; they will need to be at their best to get the three points they need to stay alive in Group B.
Injury Report
Marseille will be without Valentin Rongier, with the central midfielder nursing a broken kneecap.
Ajax are without Brian Brobbey, Josip Sutalo, Branco van den Boomen, Jay Gorter, Amouricho van Axel Dongel, and Sivert Mannsverk.
