Resolution
The Simeon team has overtaken Arsenal's impasse and is now ahead of the biggest moment of the season. The "ricoblanco" returns to ... a familiar crowd, having conquered the competition twice so far (2010, 2012). With Argentine at the helm of the team, Atletico Madrid has made significant strides in recent years, with major achievements in both the domestic championship and the European Championships (twice final in the Champions League: 2014, 2016 and two Europa conquests League).
As we said before, he has never failed in the Europa League final (2 / 2). 2010, in Hamburg, won with 2-1 on the extension, Fulham, and 2012, in Bucharest, won with 3-0 from Athletic Bilbao. But today he has to fight without Diego Simeone on the bench (he is serving a penalty after a strong protest against Arsenal's first semi-final referee).
On the other hand, Marseille is third in the final, none of which managed to celebrate the trophy (1999 and 2004 at the then UEFA Cup).
The French against all the predictions managed to reach the final by bending very hard the resistance of Salzburg (in the prolongation) and hopefully to hope for its conquest.
Ruby Garcia's team likes aggressive and fast football, as opposed to the usual -more-style "Playboy" game, with the result that we expect a special game, with the two technicians having a large share of responsibility in the outcome of the final result.
Clearly, both players have high-value players whose performance can tilt the weight in their favor, with Grayzman, counting 4 goals and 3 assists in 541 minutes of attendance, and Pawey has found nets 3 times, giving 7 assists, to 779 minutes!
The curse of the ... penalty shootout
The Spaniards do not seem to be particularly well in the penalty shoot-out process of UEFA, as 6 times have reached the psychological process, only 4 managed to smile, even counting a lost final for the Champions League (2016 against Real).
Lost final in the penalty shootout also count the French, and in particular 1991 from the Red Star, in the framework of the Champions League
Racing News
As far as Marseille (typical home) is concerned, it is likely that Paeie will be in the mist, while ours, Kostas Mitroglou, will return.
For Atletico Madrid, the winger Vitool returns, with Diego Simeonne having the whole roster available to him
Possible strokes
(4-2-3-1): Madantas - Sakai, Rami, L. Gustavo, Amavi - Angola, Sanson - Paget, Toben, Okampos - Zermen
(4-4-2): Oblak - Walsall, Jimenez, Gozin, Lucas - Korea, Gambi, Saul, Koke - Grimman, Diego Costa
Assessment
It's one of the few (maybe a few times) that we have so great ... distance to the proposed odds of two .. gladiators. Clearly, and we do not agree with that, with Marseille being offended by the buck - as in a final all is possible - but we can not fail to mention that Atletico has more experience and is the favorite (but not so much as the odds predict) . So we will avoid proposing a point. We think, however, that the game .. moves between Over and Under and so we will choose it "2-3 Goals" at 2,00 of Stoiximan.
