Marcelino has concocted an eleven full of surprises for the return match against Panthinaïkos on Tuesday.
L’Olympic Marseille is already playing a major turning point in his season on Tuesday. After his defeat (0-1) against Panathinaikos last week, the Olympians had to turn things around and could count on a packed Stade Vélodrome to reach the Champions League play-offs.
Vitinha on the bench
And for this meeting, Marcelino has prepared some surprises in his starting lineup, starting with the attack. Despite his very good performance against Reims on Saturday during the first day of Ligue 1, Vitinha is left on the bench since they are Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang And Iliman N’Diaye which will be aligned at a point.
Rongier-Veretout in the middle
In the middle, the Spanish coach had to compose without Geoffrey Kondogbia following his red card received in the first leg. Jordan Veretout And Valentin Ronnier will therefore hold in the middle with Ismaila Sarr And Azzedine Ounahi on the coast.
