Brighton & Hove Albion will be hoping to bounce back from their heavy 6-1 defeat against Aston Villa at the weekend when they travel to face Marseille in the Europa League on Thursday evening. We’ve picked out some of the best markets on offer in this clash.

Team news

Marseille are going to be without Geoffrey Kondogbia for the visit of Brighton, but they have been boosted by the returns of Iliman Ndiaye and Ismaila Sarr, who both featured in their defeat to Monaco at the weekend.

Julio Enciso and Jakub Moder remain the long-term absentees for Brighton, while doubts remain over the availability of Pascal Groß, James Milner and Adam Lallana for this one.

Over 3.5 goals @ 11/8

Both these sides have been involved in quite a lot of high-scoring games so far this season. Marseille played out a 3-3 draw with Ajax in their previous Europa League encounter, while Brighton were beaten 3-2 at home to AEK Athens.

Marseille have been involved in matches that have seen a minimum of four goals on four occasions this term, with three coming in their last three outings across Ligue 1 and the Europa League. As for Brighton, they have been involved in eight matches across all competitions in which at least four goals have been scored.

These two sides have shown that they can score plenty of goals but they are also susceptible conceding a lot as well. This could tee up a goal-fest on Thursday evening with the attacking quality that will be on show from both teams.

Iliman Ndiaye to score anytime @ 3/1

Forward Ndiaye will be heading into Thursday full of confidence after netting his first goal for Marseille at the weekend in the defeat against Monaco. And given how poor defensively Brighton were against Aston Villa last time out, he could look to capitalise on their low confidence levels and get off the mark in Europe.

With Sheffield United last season, the Senegal international had an incredible season in the Championship with 14 goals and 10 assists to his name, and there was no doubt that he would go on to play at a very high level.

The young star will be hoping to put a scoring run together after opening his account for his new club, and there isn’t a better time to be facing Brighton than right now when their defence is the shakiest it has been in a long time.
