International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both Olympique Marseille and Lazio are looking forward to this Europa League fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.

Little time to rest for the hosting team, as they performed in a Ligue 1 match only four days ago. That game was an away game at Clermont, so at least Olympique are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 800 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Some teams qualify from the Champions League; more precisely the teams who are knocked out in the playoff qualifying round and the third-place finishers of the group stage. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
