Benfica secured their spot in the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals after defeating Rangers 1-0 in Glasgow, making them the first club to reach this stage six times in the competition's history. Despite this achievement, their recent form took a hit with two losses in Lisbon derbies against Sporting, affecting their chances in domestic competitions.

Manager Roger Schmidt faces increased pressure following these defeats, especially after refusing to apologize for a 5-0 loss to Porto. However, Benfica remains confident at home, having never lost a Europa League game on their home turf.

Their opponents, Marseille, have had a turbulent 2024, experiencing a mix of success and setbacks under interim manager Jean-Louis Gasset. While they initially enjoyed a winning streak, recent defeats have raised concerns about their performance and jeopardized their chances of securing a spot in continental competitions next season.

Despite challenges, Marseille sees the Europa League as an opportunity to redeem their season and return to the Champions League. Motivated for the upcoming tie, they aim to overcome their recent struggles and advance in the competition.

Key players to watch include Benfica's veteran winger Ángel Di Maria, who has a wealth of experience against Marseille and has contributed significantly in past encounters. I predict home win!

本菲卡在格拉斯哥以1比0击败流浪者队，确保了他们进入欧联杯1 / 4决赛的资格，这使他们成为欧联杯历史上第一支六次进入这个阶段的俱乐部。尽管取得了这样的成绩，但他们最近的状态受到了打击，在里斯本德比中输给了里斯本竞技，影响了他们在国内比赛中的机会。

主教练罗杰·施密特在这些失利后面临着越来越大的压力，尤其是在拒绝为0比5输给波尔图道歉之后。然而，本菲卡在主场仍然充满信心，他们从未在欧联杯上输过一场比赛。

他们的对手马赛经历了动荡的2024年，在临时主教练让-路易斯·加塞特的带领下，他们经历了成功和挫折的混合。虽然他们最初享受了连胜，但最近的失利让人们对他们的表现感到担忧，并危及他们下赛季在大陆比赛中获得一席之地的机会。

尽管面临挑战，马赛仍将欧联杯视为挽回本赛季的机会，并重返欧冠赛场。在即将到来的比赛中，他们的目标是克服最近的困境，在比赛中取得进步。

值得关注的关键球员包括本菲卡的老将边锋Ángel迪玛利亚，他在对阵马赛的比赛中有着丰富的经验，并且在过去的比赛中贡献良多。我预测主场会赢!
