Olympique de Marseille is almost fixed on the opponent it will challenge in two weeks during the last preliminary round of the C1.
OM can start planning for their European meeting at the beginning of August. The Phocaeans should face there, barring a huge surprise, the Greek club Panathinaikos.
Panathinaikos on the road to OM
The formation of Athens has taken a significant step towards this 3e and last qualifying round by winning this Tuesday against Dnipro in the first leg. Against the Ukrainians, it won with the score of 3 goals to 1.
Played in Kosice, Slovakia, this match quickly turned to the advantage of the Hellenes. And the domination of the latter was concretized by Sporar, Djuricic and Ioannidis. Dnipro then managed to save the honor through Kaplienko.
To the good memory of Djibril Cissé
An opposition between Marseille and Pana will certainly please Djibril Cissé. The former French international wore the colors of both clubs in the late 2000s.
This European match will be Marcelino’s first high-stakes duel as the team’s coach. Until then, he still has two friendly games (against Waalwijk and Leverkusen) to try to boost his formation.
