Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored for Marseille, while Benfica had 10 shots and 3 on target. Marseille has shown defensive strength in recent matches, scoring 12 goals in five of their last six matches.

Benfica, who recently won a 3-0 Primeira Liga match against Moreirense, will face a match against the same opponent.

In their previous six matches, Benfica has scored 9 goals, with 4 goals scored by their opponents. This match will see if this trend continues.

Marseille boss Jean-Louis Gasset will not have Jean Onana, Valentin Rongier, Bilal Nadir, Jonathan Clauss, Quentin Merlin, and Bamo Meïté available for the game against Les Olympiens. Suspended players serving bans include Pape Gueye, Ulisses Garcia, and Jean Onana. Les Olympiens may use a 4-3-3 system.
