After a last season marked by repeated controversies over refereeing, the management and supporters of theMarseille Olympic have gotten into the habit of looking carefully at the identity of the men in black, as soon as the kick-off of a match approaches.
This Friday, in Nice, Jérémie Pignard will be blowing the whistle. The latter will be assisted by Aurélien Drouet and Erwan Finjean on the touchlines, while Guillaume Paradis will be the fourth referee. Nicolas Rainville and Yohann Rouinsard will be in charge of video assistance.
Pignard, a mixed memory against Nice
The statistics from Olympique de Marseille with the presence of Jérémie Pignard suggest a positive result for OM. In 15 matches managed by this referee, the Marseille club has a total of 10 victories, for 2 draws and 3 defeats. On the other hand, the last confrontation between OM and Nice under the tutelage of Pignard ended in numerical inferiority for the Marseillais. Defender Derek Cornelius received a red card in a match which ultimately ended in a Marseille victory (2-0), on September 14, 2024.
