After scoring 5 goals from his 5 shots on target in Brest a week ago (5-1), theMarseille Olympics intends to confirm his form. To do this, Roberto De Zerbi’s team will have to tame the Stade de Reims this Sunday evening, in an interesting match to close the 2nd day of Ligue 1.
“We played a good match in Brest, otherwise we wouldn’t have won 5-1, explained the Italian technician. On the game side, we can improve. We played better against Augsburg. Results must be easier to obtain. The players are improving day by day. If we seek perfection, we can always improve.
De Zerbi wants to bet on continuity
In this context, the hypothesis of seeing De Zerbi renew an eleven comparable to the one aligned last week is not to be excluded. Arrived Friday evening, the English striker Jonathan Rowe can he start? He seems too little for the moment. And Luis Henrique, his direct competitor, scored points.
The Brazilian winger could still form OM’s attacking quartet with Greenwood, Harit and Wahi. In midfield, Hojbjerg could be associated with Kondogbia, who scored points during the preparation, unless Koné is started by De Zerbi. Brassier will return to defense and Merlin should return to his role as a full-back.
The expected line-up for OM : Rulli – Murillo, Brassier, Balerdi, Merlin – Kondogbia, Hojbjerg – Henrique, Harit, Greenwood – Wahi.
