Olympique de Marseille faces Ajax Amsterdam this Thursday during the 5th day of the Europa League group stage (9 p.m.). Here is all the essential information on this important match.
“We don’t win with singers”. Gennaro Gattuso didn’t beat around the bush when approaching the clash against Ajax Amsterdam in the Europa League this Thursday (kick-off at 9 p.m.). A success could allow Olympique de Marseille to punch their ticket for the round of 16 of the tournament – or even the eighth. A significant carrot in these times.
Because OM has been experiencing a series of disappointments for several weeks. Stuck in the soft underbelly of the Ligue 1 ranking, the Marseille club displays a performance far from its ambitions. In this heavy context, the Europa League is like an enchanted parenthesis. “You have to be regular for 90 minutes and not drop by 50% on all criteria. Its very important. We saw that all season at OM. This is really what we need to work on. Tomorrow we will have the opportunity to show that we can do this for 90 minutes “, warned Gattuso. The stage is set.
The expected compositions
OM: Lopez – Clauss, Gigot, Mbemba, Lodi – Veretout, Kondogbia – Sarr, Harit, Correa – Aubameyang.
Ajax Amsterdam: Ramaj – Rensch, Sutalo, Hato, Sosa – Tahirovic, Taylor – Berghuis, Hlynsson, Bergwijn – Akpom.
