Analysis and forecast for the match on matchday 5 of the group stage of the Europa League “Marseille” – “Ajax” (11/30/2023)
In the context of the Champions League, let’s not forget about another prestigious European tournament – the Europa League.

The starting whistle will sound at 23:00 Moscow time.
Kokorin is not in a good mood:
Ranger – Aris. Alexander Kokorin will fail in the task.
The Provençals occupy an unusual 12th place in the French Championship standings. After six rounds, the team was forced to change coaches. The position was occupied by the former legendary Milan footballer Gennaro Gattuso.
There are no tangible changes yet. In the last six games of Ligue 1, the blue and white only defeated Le Havre (3-0). They also tied with Lille (0-0) and Strasbourg (1-1). The Provençals lost to Monaco (2-3), Nice (0-1) and Lens (0-1).
On the other hand, the rivals had strong teams. Furthermore, Gattuso’s team drew with Strasbourg and suffered all three defeats away from home. But in their last three games in the Europa League they drew with Brighton (2-2) and defeated AEK Athens (3-1 and 2-0). Thus, they rose to first place in the classification. Gattuso promotes an intense and aggressive style.
Ajax also started the season very badly. He sold almost all the main footballers to the best European clubs and recruited many very young players so that he could once again earn a lot of money from his transfers. However, something didn’t go as planned.
The match will be productive:
Atalanta-Sporting. Will Miranchuk participate in the goal parade?
In their first 13 games this season in all official competitions, Ajax only won two and drew three. The management decided to dismiss Maurice Stein and appoint interim coach John van’t Schip.
The change of coach encouraged the Amsterdam team. In the last four rounds of the Dutch championship they did not suffer any defeat. Ajax tied with Almere City (2-2). First they beat Volendam (2-0), then Heerenveen (4-1) and Vitesse (5-0).
However, the championship is one thing and the European level is quite another. In the match on the last day of the Europa League group stage, Schip’s team naturally lost to Brighton (0-2). At the beginning and at the end, Ajaxie looked good, but two blunders by the defenders predetermined the outcome of the match.
The main problem with current Ajax is inexperience and the lack of a well-functioning system. Van’t Schip certainly deserves credit for improving the Amsterdam team’s performance, but he still has a lot of work to do. You can bet that Marseille will win the next match and the total will be over 1.5 goals at odds of 1.95.
The last five direct confrontations testify in favor of the Provençals. They won two victories by the same score of 2:1. Three other matches ended in high-scoring draws, but two of them took place in Amsterdam. The Provençal team has never lost in regulation time at the Stade Vélodrome this season.
Samuel Gigot plays an important role. After an injury, the former Spartak footballer is gaining pace and appearing on the field more and more frequently. It is true that he was forced to miss the last League 1 match due to disqualification for too many yellow cards, but he will have a special spirit for the Europa League.
Predictions and bets for the match of matchday 5 of the group stage of the Europa League “Marseille” – “Ajax” on November 30, 2023
Both teams are having problems, but Marseille has more faith in their victory. They will have more reserves than Ajaxids. It is important that the meeting takes place in Marseille. The support of the native stands will energize the blue and white team. Ajax has improved significantly after the change of coach, but its squad is too young. Due to their inexperience, Amsterdam players make many mistakes, often fail and lose.
Tender: Victory for Marseille and total of more than 1.5 goals in 1.95.
