Marseille will try to resume their march forward in Ligue 1 this Friday evening by facing SCO Angers. Any result other than a victory would be a poor performance for the Phocaeans against the bottom of the championship.
Very convincing since the start of the season, Olympique de Marseille fell against all expectations on the last day against Strasbourg (0-1), a setback which forces Roberto De Zerbi’s men to question themselves before welcome the SCO of Angers at the opening of the 7th day of Ligue 1 this evening at the Vélodrome. For this occasion, the Marseillais will be able to count on Adrien Rabiot, who should be part of the Marseille starting eleven. Not selected yesterday for the next gathering of the French team, the former Turin player made his first appearance in Alsace under his new colors. Entering half an hour from the end of the match, he could not prevent the first setbacks of theOM.
Rabiot on hold with Kondogbia
Faced with slightly less adversity than Strasbourg and in front of the many supporters at home, De Zerbi has every chance of trying the Rabiot card from the start against SCO Angers rather than Kondogbia. He should partner him in the middle with Hojbjerg, Harit and Luis Enrique. The offense should consist of Wahi and Greenwood. In defense Balerdi will return from suspension in a quartet with Cornélius, Brassier and Murillo. The challenge for OM would of course be to temporarily catch up with PSG and Monaco in the standings (13 points against 16)
As for the Angevins, the start of the season was catastrophic for Alexandre Dujeux’s men who only totaled 2 small points after 6 matches. This shows the task that promises to be tough for Belkebla’s partners with this impressive trip to OM in their den. Only Esteban Lepaul should be in attack while the 4-2-3-1 system will be continued with Abdelli as playmaker alongside Zinedine Ferhat. The promoted team’s objective will be to avoid a fifth defeat in 7 matches before the international break.
