Olympique de Marseille face Benfica in the Europa League quarter-final second leg on Thursday. Jean-Louis Gasset wants to rely on the "fervor" of the Vélodrome, but OM has not always responded in major home matches.
The last time was against Paris Saint-Germain in the "Classique" on March 31, when they were reduced to 10 men in the 40th minute at 0-0. The result was a 2-1 defeat to the French champions at the Estadio da Luz. The return match will take place at the same venue on Thursday, with the first leg taking place in front of a home crowd of 20,000. The second leg will be played in Lisbon, with both legs taking place on Thursday night. The first leg took place in Lisbon on March 23, and the second in Marseille on March 26.
