OM qualified this Thursday evening for the round of 16 of the Europa League, defeating Shakhtar Donetsk (2-2; 3-1).

The draw for these eighths will take place in Nyon on Friday noon, with eight potential opponents identified for Marseillais. And not least.

Jean-Louis Gasset’s men have a 50% chance (or risk) of traveling to the United Kingdom since Liverpool, West Ham, Brighton and Glasgow Rangers are on the menu in particular.

Leverkusen and Liverpool for scarecrows

Other possible opponents are Bayer Leverkusen, Villarreal, Atalanta Bergamo or Slavia Prague. Like Marseille, AC Milan, Fribourg, Benfica Lisbon, Qarabag, Sporting Portugal and Sparta Prague came out of the play-offs this Thursday evening. AS Rome too, defeating Feyenoord Rotterdam on penalties (1-1; 1-1, 4 tab to 2).
