It is with a still reduced workforce that theMarseille Olympic is tackling its 4th match in this phase of the League, against Atalanta, this Wednesday (kick-off at 9 p.m.).
Roberto De Zerbi has to deal with the absences of Kondogbia, Traoré, Medina and Gouiri, while the young Nadir, victim of an illness against Angers, gave reassuring news of his condition. The fitness of Aguerd, Balerdi and Weah is also of concern and Emerson will serve his match suspension after his red card in Lisbon.
Roberto De Zerbi, OM coach.
In this context, Roberto De Zerbi must make strong decisions. The first question concerns the system: will the Italian technician return to a four-man defense? This is the trend that emerges for this meeting.
De Zerbi must decide in all lines
For the choice of men, De Zerbi can still rely on a certain emulation despite the injuries and the poor form. In attack, the young Vaz did not show as much guarantees and beginner as when he came off the bench. Aubameyang’s experience should be favored at the forefront of a line led by Greenwood and Paixao.
In the midfield, Angel Gomes, scorer at Auxerre, could support the Danish duo O’Riley-Hojbjerg. De Zerbi also hopes to be able to count on Balerdi and Aguerd, which would shift Pavard to the right side. Murillo, in good form, would line up on the left. Rulli will obviously hold his place in the goals.
The expected lineup for OM : Rulli – Pavard, Balerdi, Aguerd, Murillo – O’Riley, Hojbjerg – Greenwood, Gomes, Paixao – Aubameyang
