Lyon and Marseille face off this Sunday for a highly anticipated Olympico, this Sunday (8:45 p.m.). Here is the essential information on this clash.
After a very mixed start to the season, theOlympic Lyon faces one of its biggest rivals, Olympique de Marseille, for an electric match to close this 5th day of Ligue 1 (kick-off at 8:45 p.m.). Pierre Sage approaches this encounter with great humility. “Last season, the match against Marseille allowed us to get back on our feet after two complicated matches and it also marked the start of a great run, it was a springboard match for the rest of our season. This is not the first “real” test because we already faced a good Lens team last week. We are playing against a quality team, it will be a good way to evaluate our level of performance.”
It must be said that OM has impressed since the curtain went up. With 4 wins and a draw in 5 outings, Roberto De Zerbi’s team has already found its cruising speed, thanks to an attractive game plan. Marseille is having a very good start to the season, we don’t have the same results, it’s a meeting that comes at the right time to set the record straight. The Marseille transfer window doesn’t impress me. I appreciate their logic, they’ve worked well, but I’m not impressed“, concluded Pierre Sage. The Gones have been warned: OM will be the favourite in this Olympico.
The expected compositions
Lyon : Perri – Abner, Niakhaté, Caleta-Car, Mata, Maitland-Niles – Tolisso, Matic, Caqueret – Lacazette, Mikautadze.
Marseille : Rulli – Rongier, Brassier, Balerdi (or Meïté), Murillo – Kondogbia, Hojberg – Greenwood, Harit, Henrique – Maupay.
