These two teams meet for the third time this season and this time there is a ticket to the final at stake. Can Marseille get to the final or will Salzburg get another win over Marseille here?
When they met in the group stage, Salzburg got the upper hand with 4 points from the two clashes as they beat Marseille 1-0 at home and drew the other leg goalless in France. The Austrians finished as group winners, with Marseille following them four points adrift.
The two of them survived the last round in style. The Austrians shockingly beat SS Lazio 4-1 at home after they went 4-2 down in the first leg to progress, while Marseille defeated RB Leipzig 5-2 in the return leg having lost the first leg 1-0 in Germany.
Marseille have not lost a home game in the Europa League this season and they have won all but one of their 8 home games in the competition this season. The only team to have denied them home victory this season is their visitors in this clash.
Salzburg have lost only one of their away games in this competition this season and they have three wins and three draws from their last seven games on the road, they would look to take that form and get a win in this first leg.
