The previous two meetings between Marseille and Atalanta came in the semi-finals of the 2023-24 UEFA Europa League. After a 1-1 draw at home in the first leg, Marseille were eliminated from the tournament following a 3-0 defeat in the return leg in Italy (lost 4-1 on aggregate).

Atalanta haven’t won any of their four games against French sides played outside of Italy (D2 L2), drawing against Lyon (September 2017) and Marseille (May 2024) in the UEFA Europa League, along with two defeats to Paris SG in the UEFA Champions League (August 2020 and September 2025).
