Both Teams to Score
The tightness of last week’s first leg contest in France suggests bettors should leave the match result markets alone this week, though a couple of forays into the goals arena are recommended instead, starting with both teams to score. BTTS landed when Marseille and PAOK faced off at the Stade Orange Vélodrome seven days ago and the same bet has hit the mark in five of OM’s six fixtures in the Europa Conference League this term.
Over 2.5 Goals
Marseille’s matches in the continent’s third tier competition haven’t been short on entertainment in 2021/22 and 100% of their six fixtures in the tournament to date have produced over 2.5 goals – including last week’s first leg in France. With everything to play for in the closing fixture, we’re tipping the teams to go hammer and tongs again in Greece, so back a minimum of three goals to hit the net again.
Dimitri Payet to Score Anytime
Veteran midfielder Dimitri Payet went viral last week when he rocketed home a stunning long-range effort against PAOK and the 35-year-old’s knack for netting on the biggest occasions means he is worth considering as an anytime goalscorer option again this week. Payet has already scored 13 times in all competitions this season and the former West Ham schemer has the skills to add to his haul on Thursday.
PAOK vs Marseille Match Preview and Team News
PAOK
PAOK had the weekend off and will have enjoyed a full seven days of rest before Thursday’s clash with Marseille in Thessaloniki. Head Coach Rzvan Lucescu will be hoping that his players can harness that extra energy against Marseille and the hosts are unbeaten in an impressive 14 games on home soil.
Marseille
Marseille will be without the services of USA winger Konrad de la Fuente, defender Leonardo Balerdi and key Polish striker Arkadiusz Milik. Milik is OM’s top scorer in Europe this season with four goals. Like PAOK, Marseille sit second in their league domestically, though Jorge Sampaoli’s outfit are a mile behind runaway leaders PSG.
