Olympique de Marseille travels to Brighton this Thursday for the 6th day of the group stage of the Europa League (9 p.m.). Here is all the essential information on this match.
It would have been difficult to imagine it two months ago, when the storm hit La Canebière, but all the lights seem to be green in Marseille. Gennaro Gattuso’s team has found its cruising speed with a new tactical animation in 3-5-2 which suits the characteristics of this squad. On an ascending phase in Ligue 1, OM hopes to confirm its form on the European scene.
Whatever the result obtained in Brighton on Thursday evening, Marseille will have the assurance of still being on the European scene next spring. The Marseille club plays first place in its group against the British team. A draw or victory would allow them to maintain this leading position, synonymous with direct qualification for the round of 16 of the Europa League. In the event of a setback against the English, OM will have to go through the sixteenth box. The stage is set.
The expected compositions
Brighton : Steele – Veltamn, Van Hecke, Igor, Hinshelwood – Baleba, Dahoud – Buonanotte, Lallana, Joao Pedro – Ferguson.
OM : Pau Lopez – Mbemba, Gigot, Balerdi – Clauss, Veretout, Ounahi, Lodi – Harit – Aubameyang, Vitinha.
