Marseille will take on Brighton in a Europa League match at Stade Velodrome on Thursday. In their historic European debut, Brighton were defeated by AEK Athens in the opening game of Group B and will be hoping to get their first European victory with a win in France.
Since their defeat in the group opener, they have only managed one win in three games. They suffered a defeat at the hands of Chelsea in the Carabao Cup and were then hammered 6-1 by Aston Villa in their last outing.
The Premier League side will be up against a struggling Marseille who are winless in their last five fixtures. They are heading into this fixture on the back of back-to-back defeats at the hands of PSG and Monaco.
