Olympique de Marseille faces Le Havre for the 8th day of Ligue 1, this Sunday (1 p.m.). Here is all the essential information for this match.
The atmosphere is still electric in Marseille, where Gennaro Gattuso is chasing his first victory on the OM bench. The Marseille club lost to Monaco for the Italian technician’s big debut a week ago (2-3), before conceding a frustrating draw down to the wire against Brighton in the Europa League (2-2).
“ We need to give Gattuso timeexplained Samir Nasri on Canal +. He doesn’t have time in a week to impose his mark and have a well-defined style of play. But in the first period, Gattuso was able to transmit his energy and his grin to the Marseillais. (…) There is a physical problem and also a mental problem. This team is sick. We could see it when Brighton started to play their game and chain their passes together, immediately the Marseillais started to be in difficulty.”
This OM, still convalescing, will therefore try to get its head above water against Le Havre. But caution is required in the Marseille ranks, because the promoted player has displayed an astonishing level since the start of the season. The absences of Veretout and Gigot also forced Gattuso to reshape his eleven.
The expected compositions
Marseille : Pau Lopez – Clauss, Balerdi, Mbemba, Murillo-Kondogbia, Rongier, Ounahi – Ndiaye, Vitinha, Sarr.
Le Havre : Desmas – Salmier, Kinkoue, Lloris, Operi – Casimir, Kuzyaev, Touré, N’Diaye, Soumaré – Alioui.
