Olympique de Marseille travels to Nantes this Friday, opening the 4th day of Ligue 1 (9 p.m.). Here is the line-up expected for the Marseille club.
Although anecdotal, the photography of the classification is the positive point of this new vintage from Olympique de Marseille. Marcelino’s team are in second place in the standings just behind Monaco, with a worse goal difference than the Principality club after three days. So much for the accounting situation. The visual impression is more mixed.
Hung by Metz (2-2), OM did not really shine to overcome Brest last week (2-0). The Marseillais are still very perfectible in the game. And they will have doubts to remove against a rather unpredictable Nantes team, this Friday evening, at the start of the 3rd day of Ligue 1. With which starting lineup?
Marcelino’s dilemma for the attack
Marcelino will not upset his tactical animation in 4-4-2, but in the choice of men, an uncertainty concerns the striker aligned alongside Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Vitinha and Illiman Ndiaye are clearly in competition, in different styles. ” When he takes pleasure in the field, we will see the best Ndiaye on the field, launched Marcelino in a press conference about his summer recruit. The staff must make sure to find the right path. One must be demanding, of course, but without anxiety. We know very well that it is very difficult for a 22-23 year old player. Despite this beautiful speech, the Senegalese international could start this match on the bench.
The expected composition of OM: Lopez – Clauss, Gigot, Mbemba, Lodi – Sarr, Rongier, Veretout, Ounahi – Aubameyang, Vitinha.
