Olympique de Marseille faces Lille for the 11th day of Ligue 1, this Saturday (9 p.m.). Here is the expected line-up for the Marseille club.
Less than a week after the terrible incidents that occurred around the Vélodrome, Olympique de Marseille returns to its arena for a high-level match against Lille, this Saturday evening (kick-off at 9 p.m.). A meeting that Gennaro Gattuso approaches with the greatest vigilance.
“ It’s a team that is very interesting from a technical point of view, explained the Italian technician. It’s a team that is very fast, so you’ll really have to be very attentive. The interpretation of the match will have to be impeccable. Because when you see the goals he generally scores, they manage to score when you lose the ball, they manage to get going again very quickly, so you’ll have to be careful, it won’t be easy.”
Gattuso announced the color. “We will really have to put in a great performance. They are definitely a difficult team to face at the moment. We know it. We know that this is a team that can put us in difficulty. But we know that we too can put them in difficulty. If we play with courage, if we play with personality. And if we also manage the phases without the ball well. But it will surely be a very good match in any case. »
With which starting eleven? Several strong choices are expected. The composition of OM will necessarily be remodeled. Ngapandouetnbu could take his place in goal, while the other notable decision would concern the new tenure of Kondogbia in the middle to support Rongier and Veretout. Uncertainty still hovers around the center forward position, too, where Vitinha remains in balance with Aubameyang.
The expected lineup for OM : Ngapandouetnbu – Clauss, Mbemba, Meïté, Lodi – Rongier, Kondogbia, Veretout – Harit, Aubameyang, Sarr.
