Brighton handed double boost ahead of Marseille test

Brighton are back in European action on Thursday when they travel to France to clash with Marseille.

The Seagulls lost their opening group game to AEK Athens but they should have a much stronger squad available to them this week.

As a result, Brighton are favourites for the match despite being away from home. They can be backed at 13/10 to pick up the win with bet365.

Injury boosts

On Wednesday, it has been revealed that midfielders Pascal Gross and Jakub Moder were involved in training with the Seagulls ahead of the trip to France. The duo have been dealing with injuries for the last few weeks and their return is a big boost for Roberto De Zerbi.

The Brighton boss said on Friday that Gross would be ‘pushing’ to play but that no risks would be taken. But with Gross in training on Wednesday, he does look set to travel with the squad.

Elsewhere, in-form striker Evan Ferguson is expected to make his European debut this week. The 18-year-old missed the 3-2 defeat vs Athens last month with a knee injury but he was back in action at the weekend and should be involved vs Marseille.

Ferguson already has four goals to his name from seven games this campaign and can be backed at 6/4 to score anytime vs Marseille with bet365.
