Explore Ladbrokes' detailed preview for Marseille vs Atalanta in the UEFA Champions League. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 20:00 GMT match.

• Fixture: Marseille vs Atalanta

• Date: Wednesday, 05 November 2025

• Kick-off: 20:00 GMT

• Venue: Stade de Marseille

Marseille's up and down form could make this a tricky one. They've shown they can score big at home, like that 4-0 thrashing of Ajax, but they've also struggled away, losing to Sporting CP and Real Madrid. Atalanta, on the other hand, are solid at home but can crumble away, as seen in their 0-4 loss to PSG. This match could be tight, with Marseille looking to exploit their home advantage.

Atalanta's defence will need to be on point to keep Aubameyang quiet. Marseille's midfield, with Hojbjerg and Vermeeren, could control the game if they're on form. Atalanta's attack, led by Lookman and Ketelaere, will look to hit Marseille on the break. Expect a close, tactical battle with both teams having their moments.

Marseille's recent form has been a bit of a rollercoaster. They've shown they can dominate at home, smashing Ajax 4-0, but their away form is a concern after losses to Sporting CP and Real Madrid. This inconsistency could play on their minds, but playing at home might just give them the boost they need. With key players like Aubameyang and Hojbjerg in the lineup, Marseille have the firepower and control to take this game. If they can replicate their home performance against Ajax, they'll be tough to beat. But they'll need to be sharp from the off to keep Atalanta at bay.

• Loss: 1-2 vs Sporting CP (A)

• Win: 4-0 vs Ajax (H)

• Loss: 1-2 vs Real Madrid (A)

Atalanta's recent results show a team that's hard to beat at home but can struggle away. Their draw against Slavia Praha and win over Club Brugge at home are promising, but that 0-4 loss to PSG away is a worry. They'll need to be at their best to get a result in Marseille. With players like Ederson and Lookman, Atalanta have the quality to cause problems. If they can keep it tight at the back and hit Marseille on the counter, they could nick a result. But they'll need to be more solid than they were against PSG.

• Draw: 0-0 vs Slavia Praha (H)

• Win: 2-1 vs Club Brugge KV (H)

• Loss: 0-4 vs Paris Saint Germain (A)

The head-to-head record between these two shows Atalanta with a recent edge, beating Marseille 3-0 in their last meeting. However, Marseille managed a 1-1 draw in the previous encounter. This suggests that while Atalanta have the upper hand, Marseille can hold their own and make this a competitive match.

• Predicted lineup: Rulli (GK), Pavard (DF), Balerdi (If fit) (DF), Aguerd (DF), Emerson (DF), Gomes (MF), Vermeeren (MF), Hojbjerg (MF), Greenwood (MF), Paixao (MF), Aubameyang (AT)

Marseille's predicted lineup features a strong defence of Pavard, Balerdi, and Aguerd, which could be key to keeping Atalanta's attack at bay. The midfield trio of Vermeeren, Hojbjerg, and Greenwood will need to control the game and feed Aubameyang up top.

• Predicted lineup: Carnesecchi (GK), Kossounou (DF), Hien (DF), Djimsiti (DF), Bernasconi (DF), Zappacosta (MF), Ederson (MF), Roon (MF), Ketelaere (AT), Krstovic (AT), Lookman (AT)

Atalanta's predicted lineup features a solid back three of Kossounou, Hien, and Djimsiti, which will be crucial in dealing with Aubameyang. The attacking trio of Ketelaere, Krstovic, and Lookman could pose a real threat on the break.

• Aubameyang vs Bernasconi: Aubameyang's pace and finishing will test Bernasconi's defensive skills to the limit.
• Hojbjerg vs Ederson: Hojbjerg's control in midfield will be crucial against Ederson's dynamic play.
• Vermeeren (Marseille): Vermeeren's ability to dictate the tempo from midfield could be key for Marseille.
• Ketelaere (Atalanta): Ketelaere's creativity and goal threat make him a vital part of Atalanta's attack.
