At the Velodrome in Marseille will go on stage the first leg of the Europa League semi-finals between Olympique Marseille and Salzburg. The hosts are favorites to conquer the final of Lyon but should not underestimate the Austrians, who have surprised everyone and are one step away from the last act of this edition of Europa League.

The French arrive at this delicate meeting after 2 consecutive victories in the league, which allow the biancoazzurri to dream of the third place, valid for the Champions League playoffs.
