The summer silence of the velodrome ends this evening. Two and a half months after its last home game, Olympique de Marseille finds its audience for a friendly prestigious meeting against Seville FC (8 p.m.). But much more than a simple preparation match, this evening looks like large reunions, carried by an exceptional fervor and the impatience to discover the new face of the OM version 2025-2026.
An incredible fervor for the Zerbi project
Nearly 60,000 supporters are expected in the spans of the velodrome this Saturday. A crowd worthy of a great European shock, which testifies to the immense expectation surrounding the project led by coach Roberto de Zerbi. After a summer preparation so far undefeated (two victories, two draws), the supporters are looking forward to seeing the Italian game philosophy and the new recruits which must embody the revival of the club.
Aubameyang could make his big debut with OM tonight.
Aubameyang, the long -awaited great thrill?
The main attraction of this gala evening is undoubtedly the possible first appearance of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the Olympian jersey. The arrival of the Gabonese striker aroused enormous enthusiasm, and his presence on the lawn is hoped for by all the Marseille people. If his participation remains uncertain, while the last transfer Igor Peaceao is forfeited, this match will be an opportunity to see the other recruits (Angel Gomes, Egan-Riley, Medina) in the unique atmosphere of the Vélodrome for the first time.
A last natural examination before recovery
Faced with Seville FC, a historic opponent even if he has lost his superb, Roberto de Zerbi will make a last workforce review before the start of hostilities. This is the last opportunity to refine the tactical settings and gain strength before finding Aston Villa next week, then starting the championship in Rennes. For OM, the party must be beautiful, and reassuring performance.
