Marseille and Lorient open the 4e
Ligue Day 1. And the audience of the Vélodrome, which awaits a reaction after the defeat following Lyon (0-1), may well see at work the last summer recruits from Marseille. In defense in particular.
Due to the late return of Argentinian internationals, who faced the equator on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, Roberto de Zerbi will undoubtedly not start Geronimo Rulli and Leonardo Balerdi, even if they are present in the group.
Their absence should benefit Jeffrey de Lange in order, while Benjamin Pavard and Nayef Aguerd could start in the axis. Facundo Medina is expected in the left corridor and Amir Murillo should occupy the right side.
OM with entrance pavard?
In the middle, André Gomes and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg would be associated with Mason Greenwood and Hamed Junior Traoré, responsible for animating the wings and feeding Amine Gouri, expected point. An uncertainty would remain between Matt O'riley and Bilal Nadir in 10.
For their part, the Merlus will be very weakened for this meeting. FCL coach Olivier Pants, will actually have to do without the services of Panos Katseris, Isaak Touré, Bandiougou Fadiga, Pablo Pagis, Nathaniel Adjei and Trevan Sanusi.
OM-Lorient, the likely compos
OM: De Lange – Murillo, Pavard, Aguerd, Medina – Gomes, Hojbjerg – Greenwood, O'riley (or Nadir), Traoré – Gouiri.
Lorient: Mvogo – Meïté, Talbi, Faye – Mvuka, Avom Ebong, Abergel, Kouassi – Tosin, Soumano, Karim.
