Outdistanced by Nice and in the sights of Rennes, Olympique de Marseille has every intention of picking up the Aiglons in the standings. For this, the band in Sampaoli will have to win against the defending champion, Lille, this Sunday evening (kick-off at 8:45 p.m.). Despite the absences of Gueye, Dieng (CAN) and Bakambu (not yet qualified), the OM coach will have a well-stocked group for this Ligue 1 clash.

Sampaoli should bet on continuity

OM should thus evolve in their usual hybrid system, articulated in 3-2-4-1. Milik should follow up. The Pole will be supported by captain Payet, while Harit and Ünder are also expected on the flanks. Guendouzi will start, certainly ahead of Kamara and Gerson in the midfield. The three-man defense is expected to consist of Saliba, Caleta-Car and Luan Peres, Sampaoli’s core men this season. Pau Lopez will hold his place in goal.

The probable composition of Marseille : Lopez – Saliba, Caleta-Car, Peres – Kamara, Gerson – nder, Guendouzi, Payet, Harit – Milik.
