The international break did not change anything in the woes of OM, held in check in Strasbourg this Saturday (1-1).
Between Strasbourg who have not won at home for three months and Marseillais incapable of winning away this season, the draw was potentially a foregone conclusion. This Saturday at Meinau, the two teams were unable to upset the statistics, thus sanctioned by a sharing of points in the 13e act of Ligue 1 (1-1).
As often in this 2023-2024 exercise, the Phocaeans held out the stick to be beaten, much too passive on the Alsatian opener signed Emegha at the start of the match (1-0, 6e). Dominant over the rest of the initial period, Gattuso’s men returned to the mark thanks to their international tricolor, Clauss (1-1, 27e). Nothing more…

We wanted to get off to a good start in second but we slowed down the races and pulled our leg… We suffered more. There are adjustments to be made very quickly to have control over our matches. This is not enough at the moment. »

On an aerial ball misread by Lopez or a bar knocked by Bakwa, Racing could even have won, much more impactful than its sky-and-white opponent in the second part of the match. OM for their part will regret a possible penalty forgotten for a foul on Aubameyang at the end of the game. Too little, however, to leave this match bitter, as Marseille seems to be in its place for the moment in ninth position in the ranking. With only one more point on the clock than his Alsatian challenger of the day, 12e.
