Olympique de Marseille and Olympique Lyonnais face each other this Sunday for a highly anticipated Olympico (8:45 p.m.). Here is all the essential information on this shock.
It would have been difficult to imagine the picture of the ranking a few months ago, when the experts were looking ahead to this 2023-24 season. And yet, it is in a position of bottom red that Olympique Lyonnais approaches its “Olympic” at the Vélodrome against Marseille. The Rhone club is experiencing the worst start to the season in its history, with a victory counter still blocked at the end of the fall and a deep crisis which extends from its management to its locker room, including an already weakened coach.
“There are times when we have to talk to each other, when we have to say things to each other, explained Fabio Grosso, at the end of a week marked by the “mole” affair. Sometimes you have to speak loudly… The most important thing is to know the direction, and take it together. It’s not the first time I’ve gotten angry in the locker room, it’s just that we talked about it, but it’s happened before. I believe in always saying things to each other. »
Still, a trip to the Vélodrome does not seem like the ideal match to bounce back. Especially since in Marseille, the sky has been clearing up for several weeks. Gennaro Gattuso has made his mark on the Canebière. A success against Lyon this Sunday evening would not be trivial. It would allow this OM team to rise to heights more in line with its standing, without making any noise…
The expected compositions
OM : Lopez – Clauss, Mbemba, Gigot, Lodi – Veretout, Rongier, Kondogbia – Sarr, Harit – Aubameyang
OL : Lopes – Mata, Lovren, Caleta-Car, Tagliafico – Caqueret, Akouakou, Maitland-Niles – Cherki, Lacazette, Jeffinho.
