Arsenal had a lot of problems to eliminate CSKA Moscow in the previous round, despite a 4-1 victory in the first leg on the home soil. They were two goals down in the second leg in Moscow, but they somehow managed to get a 2-2 draw in the end and qualify for the UEFA Europa League Semi-Finals. The Gunners surely wanted to avoid Atletico Madrid at the draw, as the Europa League trophy is their only hope to play in the Champions League next season, and now they have to deserve it against one of the strongest teams in Europa. After a lot of struggling throughout the season, Arsene Wenger’s boys will need their best game to beat Atleti, and eventually win in the Final later.
Atleti are the biggest favorites to win the Europa League since they’ve finished their Champions League journey this season, but they had some issues against Sporting in the previous round. After a convincing 2-0 victory in the first leg at home, Atletico Madrid was beaten 1-0 in the second game in Lisbon, showing they can have a bad day in the office, so the matchup with the Gunners should be a proper test of their potential. The manager Diego Simeone led his team two times to the Champions League Final, and he certainly knows how to prepare his boys for any opponent here. However, Atleti are the strongest team left in the competition on a paper, but they will have to prove it on the pitch.
Marseille vs. Salzburg
3-Way: 1: Marseille -125; X: +270 Draw; 2: Salzburg +350 at BetDSI Sportsbook
Spread -0.5: Marseille -125; Salzburg +105
Total +2.5: Over -135; Under +105

After beating the Red Bulls from Leipzig 5-3 on aggregate in the previous round, the Olympians will have to eliminate another Red Bulls, this time from Salzburg, if they want to reach the UEFA Europa League final. Marseille’s performance in the second leg against RB Leipzig at home was tremendous, as they completely outplayed their rivals, scoring five goals to take the place in the Europa League Semi-Finals. The Olympians possess a balanced team with a few players in a terrific form throughout the season, and they are certainly capable of going all the way.
On the other side, Salzburg made a couple of upsets in the previous two rounds of the UEFA Europa League, so you don’t want to write them off, as the Red Bulls overcame Dortmund 2-1 on aggregate in the Round of 16, and Lazio 6-5 on aggregate in the Quarter-Finals, despite they were huge underdogs in both matchups. Salzburg prefers an attacking football, while their high pressure and work rate are excellent, and after two great victories against Dortmund and Lazio, they certainly aren’t afraid of Marseille.
