Olympique de Marseille and Stade Rennais face each other this Sunday, at the end of the 14th day of Ligue 1 (8:45 p.m.). Here is the expected line-up for the Marseille club.
It seems unlikely, in modern football, to see a coach relying on an irrational victory after a flurry of goals to build his squad. But these days, Gennaro Gattuso certainly appreciated the spectacular success of Olympique de Marseille against Ajax Amsterdam in the Europa League on Thursday (4-3).
A victory which bears the signature of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Target of all criticism since his arrival last summer, the Gabonese striker has perhaps signed a benchmark match to definitively launch his adventure in Marseille. Above all, he personifies a newfound success in an offensive sector that has regularly been singled out in recent weeks.
Aubameyang ready to continue
In this context, Aubameyang should certainly continue on the attacking front. It’s hard not to imagine Gattuso capitalizing on the success of his center forward after the sad copies he suffered in Ligue 1 recently, although Vitinha still has his say. The other executives are expected in this match against Rennes. Harit, but also Kondogbia, Veretout, Class, Mbemba and obviously Lopes should be lined up at kick-off. Balerdi is expected to regain his place in central defense.
The expected lineup for OM : Lopez – Clauss, Mbemba, Balerdi, Lodi – Kondogbia, Veretout – Sarr, Harit, Correa – Aubameyang.
