It is with a remodeled starting eleven that theMarseille Olympic will try to raise their heads, this Wednesday, against Angers, for the 10th day of Ligue 1 (kick-off at 9:05 p.m.).
After a week with 2 consecutive losses, the Marseillais must give a response at home against an opponent within their reach. But the pace of the calendar and the depth of the bench should encourage Roberto De Zerbi to make a notable rotation.
Roberto De Zerbi, OM coach.
Changes are expected in all lines compared to the starting lineup lined up in Lens (1-2). With what system will OM present themselves this Wednesday? This is a first question. The 5-man defense remains the trend, but the idea of a 4-man line cannot be completely ruled out.
Involved in the 4 goals conceded last week, Benjamin Pavard showed signs of running out of steam and could be left to rest. Nayef Aguerd should however continue, while Leonardo Balerdi is expected in the eleven.
Changes in all lines
Involved in the 4 goals conceded last week, Benjamin Pavard showed signs of running out of steam but the absence of Leonardo Balerdi should keep him in the eleven. Nayef Aguerd must also continue. In the middle, too, De Zerbi should redistribute playing time, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg being called upon to return to the starting eleven.
Finally, the offensive sector will not be spared by this logic of turnover. Starting at Bollaert, the young Robinio Vaz could give way to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang at center forward. Mason Greenwood, in great form, is expected to continue, as is Igor Paixão.
The expected lineup for OM : Rulli – Murillo, Pavard, Aguerd, Emerson – Hojbjerg, Vermeeren, Gomes – Greenwood, Aubameyang, Paixao.
