Odds on Atletico to win going up... I am a bit surprised by that - I'd have expected it to be the other way. I don't quite get the reason for this - maybe some people believe that playing in France is tantamount to a home game for Marseille. Even odds on Atletico to win seem nice. Going forward Lyon may have as much to offer but defensively they're far more frail than Atletico. Therefore, I'm expecting Atletico to win. -
I'm surprised that more money is on Marseille because the match is played in France. In terms of quality and experience, Marseille can't be compared to Atletico Madrid. I will gladly accept Atletico Madrid -0.5 which I feel it's good value given that their odds has risen.Comment

why so quiet?
The odds on Patetico are little more good after that opening! Still i dont like them as a team...not my type of football! I look at the match with Arsenal where Ozil and some of the players didnt want to play! The result could have been other if they showed some interes!
Marseille is a good team but i dont like that defence! Still cant say more about this team becouse i didnt saw them! From what i understand they should have lost against Salzburg!
My fun bets:
Thauvin to [email protected] (big fuss around this guy so why not)
DRAW with goals @4.1
D.Costa to take a yellow [email protected] (would have taken even Griezmann)
D.Payet to take a yellow [email protected]Originally posted by shicneComment

Yes, Marseille got a bit lucky against RB Salzburg. They scored a last-minute winner away goal as a result of an undeserved corner. RB really had them on the ropes in the 2nd half of their SF. Offensively they're a great team but defensively they're not on the same level as Atletico Madrid. I also doubt whether Rudi Garcia is on the same tactical level as Diego Simeone... It will be interesting to see how Marseille try to plug their gaps at the back... In any case, I'd be really surprised if Marseille come out on top. I think it seems most likely that Atletico will win this in regular time and sit back after scoring. 1-0 or 2-0 would be my call.Comment

Exacty as Wiserth wrote-main adventage of Atletico is Simeone.Garcia has problems with the way he leads his teams when Marseille scores first.Couple of times-on the road against St.Etienne and Guingamp in last round they had a problem to save their result after goal.Also he had some strange experiments like Luiz Gustavo as CB and injuries of first GK-Mandanda.I think that their efficient is better than Atletico.I have wathced Atetico couple of times on the road-in La Liga and in Europe League and except against Loko in Moscow they didn t impreseed me.Except Oblak,Greizmann all others didn t looked so motivate and play good only in the parts of half-not more than 10-15 min.Think that OM has much motivate players-they didn t play any final in recent years and I ll backed them 1X...was 2,25 yestreday...Comment

Fair points but I don't think Atletico Madrid will be less motivated today - I think they're totally motivated... So far they might not have been that motivated and did just what they had to do to get the job done. But I am expecting that to be different tonight. Moreover, if they win, they'll most likely get to play Real Madrid - their old nemesis - in the Super Cup for glory. That would be a nice way for them to make up the defeats in the CL finals of 2014 and 2016...Originally posted by radicke View PostComment
