Olympique de Marseille will face OGC Nice in an enticing match on Saturday evening (9 p.m.).
After a lively international break, the French championship will resume next weekend with several interesting posters to come in Ligue 1. Olympique de Marseille, which remains on a first success achieved under the Gattuso era, will come up against a competitor direct to the top of the table since the Phocéens, sixth in the standings, travel to the pitch of OGC Nice, second.
A Mediterranean shock that the Marseillais will approach with a slight handicap. As indicated by the prefect of the Alpes-Maritimes this Wednesday, Olympique de Marseille will not be able to count on its supporters for this trip to Nice.
Nice-OM classified at the highest level of risk
This decision arises from the current local and international context. “ The national context that we know, the local context with the Youcef Atal affair as well as probable pro-Palestinian demonstrations on Saturday, which I will ban, mean that the time has not yet come to welcome Marseille supporters in conditions of adequate security. I issued another order prohibiting supporters declaring themselves from Marseille near the stadium. This meeting is classified at the highest level of risk by the national directorate for the fight against hooliganism“, we can read in comments reported this Wednesday by media Le Phocéen.
