If Brighton and Olympique de Marseille are already qualified for the next round of the Europa League, the two teams are competing this Thursday evening for first place in the group, synonymous with direct qualification for the round of 16 of the competition. While the Phocaeans have a one point lead in Group B over the Seagulls, Gennaro Gattuso will be able to count on Iliman Ndiaye and Jonathan Clauss, suspended in the league while Valentin Rongier and Joaquin Correa are out. At a press conference, the coach ofOM made no secret of the fact that he expects a complicated match this evening in England and that he hopes for a good performance from his players: “We can’t play a draw against a team like Brighton. This team controls the entire pitch, they had 65% of possession on Chelsea’s pitch, it’s incredible. We can’t defend with a very strong block. If you just want to aim for a draw here, all you have to do is make the sign of the cross.”
On the Seagulls side, Roberto De Zerbi faces a real shortage with the packages of Solly March, Julio Enciso, Pervis Estupinan, Danny Welbeck, Ansu Fati, Tariq Lamptey and Adam Webster. But the numerous absences do not change the ambitions of the Italian who is aiming for first place in the group as he confirmed at a press conference: “Marseille is a very good team, but we have the ambition to finish at the top of our group. It’s a prestigious thing to finish at the top of the table, because it means we will play two fewer games in February, and it’s also prestigious for the history of our club.
