Olympique Marseille and Vitória Guimarães face at Stade Vélodrome, in a match for this stage of the UEFA Europa League (Group Stage). These two teams have never met before, so this will be the first head‑to‑head between them. Both teams register significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth atention.
Olympique Marseille
After 1 win and 1 loss, the home team comes to this 3rd round in the 2nd position of Group I, with 3 points won. In the previous round, they lost in an away match against Salzburg by (1‑0), after they have won in their first group stage by (1‑0) at home against Konyaspor. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 8 draws and 2 losses in away matches; against 12 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss at their stadium. They come to this match after a away draw against Strasbourg by (3‑3). Olympique Marseille has won 8, tied 1 and lost 1 of the last 10 home matches. They have conceded the first goal in 5 of their 15 matches, and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 8 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 3 of their 6 goals between minutes (61'‑75').
Olympique Marseille leaves for this match with a 3-3 draw against Strasbourg, adding the second consecutive match without losing in several competitions: the goals of the team were signed by Payet, Sanson and Mitroglou.
In this home match, coach Rudi Garcia should organize the team in the usual tactical system, namely the 4-2-3-1, benefiting ball possession and organized attacks, especially through the left aisle: Dimitri Payet is very fast and in the offensive transition. On the other hand, Cameroon N'Jie is the top scorer of Marseille with 5 goals scored.
For this game the coach can count on all the players.

Vitoria Guimaraes
Guimaraes will hardly repeat the last year’s success when they earned the right to play the continental competition through Primeira Liga.
Os Vimaranenses have found it very tough to produce in the final third at the start of the new season which is why they hold the ninth position with no more than ten points from eight games in the top flight of the Portuguese football.
