This Wednesday, around 11 p.m., theMarseille Olympic will know more about his real potential this season. It's undeniable, something has been happening in the Marseille city for a month and a half. Equipped with an XXL workforce with doubled positions, Roberto De Zerbi says he is fulfilled and ambitious, and this start of the season is going in his direction. Because Marseille has broken several glass ceilings, by winning against PSG for example (1-0), but also by making a successful start to the European campaign, thus eclipsing the ghosts of an inglorious past in the Champions League.
With a defeat as frustrating as it was encouraging at the Bernabeu against Kylian Mbappé's Real Madrid (1-2) and a resounding success against Ajax Amsterdam two weeks later (4-0), the Marseillais are perfectly respecting their specifications for the moment.
But this trip to Lisbon to challenge Sporting is a life-size test, because the Portuguese champion is a real client for French clubs. OM supporters will surely remember the 2-0 victory in 2022, but it was another life. In the event of a victory, the Marseillais, who have the same number of points as Sporting, would distance themselves from the Portuguese club. The stage is set.
The expected compositions
Sports :Virginia; Fresneda, Quaresma, Inacio, Araujo; Hjulmand, Morita; Quenda, Trincao, Goncalves; Suarez.
OM : Rulli – Pavard, Balerdi (c), Aguerd – Murillo, O'Riley, Højbjerg, Emerson – Greenwood, Aubameyang, Paixão.
