That draw was the third in a row for Les Olympiens, who have since suffered back-to-back Ligue 1 defeats, with a heavy 4-0 loss at Paris Saint-Germain followed by a 3-2 defeat against early league leaders Monaco last weekend – Gennaro Gattuso’s first game in charge.
Since his appointment as manager a week ago. Marseille, who have now won just one of their last seven games in all competitions, currently sit 12th in the Ligue 1 table and although they are only four points adrift of the top three, Gattuso has a tough task on his hands to turn the club’s fortunes around and win over the club’s supporters.

Indeed, Brighton were flying high on the domestic front before they began their first-ever Europa League campaign, winning four of their opening five Premier League games, but they were brought back down the earth when they suffered a 3-2 home defeat to AEK Athens two weeks ago.
Joao Pedro’s restored parity twice for the Seagulls from the penalty spot, but their Greek counterparts had the last laugh as Ezequiel Ponce netted an 84th-minute winner to snatch all three points on the South Coast. Brighton have since won one and lost two of their last three games in all competitions including back-to-back away defeat to Chelsea and Aston Villa.

Both Marseille and Brighton have regularly looked a threat in the final third this season but have shown signs of weakness at the back, so an entertaining end-to-end contest could be on the cards on Thursday. The two teams will be desperate to quickly put aside their recent setbacks on the domestic front, but they may have to settle for a share of the spoils on this occasion.
