How to Watch Marseille vs. Villarreal: Stream Europa League Live, TV Channel
Winning the Europa League is looking like the best opportunity either Marseille or Villarreal will have at gaining entry to next season’s European selection as the two teams prepare to face off in the last 16. Both teams have gone through their share of struggles on the domestic front so far this season, with Marseille seventh in Ligue 1 and just about keeping pace with the top five while Villarreal has overcome a dreadful start to sit 12th in La Liga. A result at the Stade Velodrome on Thursday will be critical to Villarreal’s chances if it’s to advance, with Marseille having only recently rediscovered its groove on home soil.

Marseille has succeeded in making it shores a tough place for opponents to visit, but a recent stretch of three home draws back-to-back upset the club’s mojo.
Combine that with the fact Les Olympiens won just four away fixtures in all competitions across the entire first half of the season, and it puts into context just how important Thursday’s opening leg is for both teams.
Jean-Louis Gasset has won three from three since arriving at the Marseille helm last month and successfully steered the team into the next phase of its European quest after toppling Shakhtar Donetsk.
The tie stood on shaky ground after predecessor Gennaro Gattuso saw the team to a 2-2 draw with Shakhtar on neutral soil, which was part of a seven-match winless run before he was relieved of his duties.
Villarreal has already bested French opposition this season and beat Rennes home and away to top Group F, while Marseille settled for second in its pool behind Premier League power Brighton.
Marcelino’s men are undefeated in seven and most recently dispatched Granada 5-1 on Sunday to celebrate back-to-back wins for the first time since November, hoping to make it three on the bounce on Thursday.
