How to Watch Villarreal vs. Marseille: Stream Europa League Live, TV Channel
It would take a minor miracle for Villarreal to somehow advance in the Europa League as the Spanish side seeks to overcome a four-goal deficit when it hosts Marseille in the round of 16 on Thursday. Les Olympiens are running rampant under new manager Jean-Louis Gasset and pummelled the Yellow Submarine 4-0 en route to amassing a record of five wins from five games under his charge. The Ligue 1 outfit will be desperate to make that six from six at the Estadio de la Ceramica but know a place in the quarter-finals is theirs provided they lose by three goals at the very worst.

Not that accepting such an outcome looks to be in the Gasset playbook based on what fans have seen of his Marseille team thus far.
The French fancies put Villarreal away last week as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang continued his fine run of form with Gasset in charge.
The revitalized Gabon international has since improved his record to eight goals in five matches under the new boss, who was shocked by the Ivory Coast midway through this year’s Africa Cup of Nations.
Marseille’s transformation under his reign has been nothing short of remarkable given the state the team was in when Gennaro Gattuso left the State Velodrome:
The irony is Villarreal has also enjoyed positive form under Marcelino of late, and the 4-0 decimation in Marseille remains something of an anomaly compared to other recent results.
In fact, the Yellow Submarine has lost just once in its last nine games across all competitions, a run that includes impressive wins over Barcelona, Real Sociedad and Real Betis.
Needless to say Villarreal will need to call on more than a little of that fighting mentality for the visit of Marseille, who travels to Spain having kept back-to-back clean sheets in its last two games.
