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 all the essential information on this match.
For several days, a single question has fueled the debates on the Canebière: what face will Olympique de Marseille show during its next outings? In the space of less than a week, Gennaro Gattuso’s team went from black to white. Without ideas, without creativity, almost apathetic in Strasbourg a week ago (1-1), OM tipped into the irrational to sign a prestigious victory against Ajax Amsterdam in the Europa League, Thursday (4-3 ).
A victory which does not reassure observers however. “At a certain point, when you feel that nothing is happening, it’s normal to raise your voice like (Gennaro) Gattuso did, blurted out Eric Di Meco on RMC. I’m worried, I want to look down more than up. We are sliding inexorably downward, almost singing. So now, yes, he has to yell. Gattuso has a big job ahead of him. I don’t know if the winter break will allow us to strengthen. This is generally not the case. I am very worried “.
The former defender doesn’t think he’s saying that well. Twelfth in the standings, OM have no margin and absolutely must give themselves some breathing room. An objective shared by Stade Rennais, which took advantage of the arrival of Julien Stéphan to generate a new dynamic. In the event of a victory, Marseille would get back in front of their evening opponent. Otherwise, Rennes would distance itself from a direct competitor.
The expected compositions
OM : Lopez – Clauss, Mbemba, Balerdi, Lodi – Kondogbia, Veretout – Sarr, Harit, Correa – Aubameyang.
Rennes : Mandanda – Assignon, Belocian, Theate, Truffert – Matic, Le Fée, Bourigeaud – Terrier, Kalimuendo, Gouri.
