Olympique de Marseille travels to Brest for the 22nd day of Ligue 1, this Sunday (8:45 p.m.). Here is the expected line-up for the Marseille club.

“It’s not a physical problem, a tactical problem, it’s a mental problem. I don’t know how to coach that kind of team.” This statement says a lot about Gennaro Gattuso’s current difficulties at Olympique de Marseille.

While the Marseille club once again experienced a frustrating scenario in Hamburg, in their round of 16 first leg of the Europa League against Shakhtar Donetsk (2-2), Gattuso seems completely lost on his bench. Traveling to Brest looks like a real challenge in this context.

Gattuso seems lost

With which eleven will OM present themselves to face one of the most successful teams of the season? Gattuso will still have to decide. Will the Italian maintain his animation in 4-3-3, while the 3-5-2 bore fruit a few weeks ago?

If so, Aubameyang could start alongside Moumbagna and Sarr. In the middle, Onana could be aligned with Ounahi and Harit. But in each line, there will be a surprise to discover, knowing that Gattuso can rotate, four days after the trip to Germany. Mbemba is expected to make his return to defense. Clauss should continue, as should Merlin. Lopez will hold his place in goal.

The expected lineup for OM : Lopez – Clauss, Mbemba, Balerdi, Merlin – Ounahi, Onana, Harit – Sarr, Aubameyang, Moumbagna
