Kondogbia as a rapper, what does that look like?

Currently opposed to Newcastle for its 5th match in this phase of the League, Olympique de Marseille is already playing for its European future.

Twenty-fifth in the League phase standings before the kick-off of their match against Newcastle, Olympique de Marseille sees the noose tightening in
his European campaign. Roberto De Zerbi’s men are playing big this Wednesday evening against the Magpies.

Several scenarios are possible for the future, but OM has already burned a large part of its jokers. Last year, it took a minimum of 11 points to reach the play-offs via the top 24. The good news is that the growing gap between the best and the rest could reduce this mark. A total of 10 points could be enough in the best case scenario. But this therefore calls for Marseille to win 2 matches and draw, at least.

OM-Newcastle, a turning point for the future

The bad news, on the other hand, if we rely on last season (the only reference in this format), is that no club with 3 points after 4 days managed to finish in the top 24. Olympique de Marseille knows what remains to be done: this OM-Newcastle is indeed a turning point in its season.
