After Brighton’s first-ever game in Europe ended in a 3-2 defeat thanks to a late winner from AEK Athens forward Ezequiel Ponce, the Seagulls will be looking for a positive result against a Marseille side who have endured a tough start to the season. The French outfit have won just two of their first seven Ligue 1 games, while their form in Europe has been dismal with only one victory in their last 15 Europa League games.
Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi will also be looking for a reaction from his players after their 6-1 hammering at the hands of Aston Villa at the weekend. Despite this defeat there have been plenty of positives since the season began, with the likes of Kaoru Mitoma, Evan Ferguson and Solly March all impressing, while new loan signing Ansu Fati scored his first goal in the loss at Villa Park.
De Zerbi promised supporters there would be a reaction after the heavy defeat and will be boosted by Marseille’s poor Europa League record. Can the Seagulls gain a first-ever win in European football? Or will Gattuso lead his side to victory?
