Marseille vs Atalanta Prediction and Betting Tips | November 5 2025

Marseille take on Atalanta on the fourth matchday of the UEFA Champions League league phase. Both sides have won just once in three games and are seperated by a point in the standings.

Roberto de Zerbi's Marseille are coming off a 1-0 Ligue 1 win at Auxerre at the weekend, with both teams finishing with 10 men. Angel Gomez's strike at the hour mark for the visitors turned out to be the game's only goal.

Auxerre couldn't capitalise on Ulisses Garcia's dismissaal for OM midway through the second half and saw Sinaly Diomande getting dismissed in stoppage time.

OM - who are second in their domestic league - now turn their attention to Europe, where they lost 2-1 at Sporting CP on matchday three, finishing with 10 men, to drop to 18th in the points table, with three points from as many outings.

Meanwhile, Ivan Juric's Atalanta are fresh off a 1-0 Serie A loss at Udinese at the weekend. Nicolo Zaniolo's 40th-minute strike at the Bluenergy Stadium sunk La Dea, who dominated possession (62%) but had no shots on target.

Eleventh in the Serie A standings, Juric's side drew goalless at home to Slavia Praha in their last Champions League outing. The Italian side are 11th in the points table, with four points from three games, winning one.

Marseille - second in Ligue 1 - haven't lost in nine continental games, winning seven. Atalanta, meanwhile, have lost only twice in 17 continental group/league phase outings.
