It’s a poster that smacks of the 1990s, when the emblematic Guy Roux crossed paths with the no less charismatic Bernard Tapie: theMarseille Olympic meets AJ Auxerre on Friday evening at the Stade Vélodrome (kick-off at 8:45 p.m.). After two matches without a victory in its home, the Marseille club, more comfortable away from its bases, hopes to give an answer to its supporters. “You have to perform at home like against Toulouse, Nantes or even Brest”launched Roberto De Zerbi.
Opposite, the promoted Auxerre is riding a positive dynamic with three consecutive matches without defeat in Ligue 1. But theAJA
remains much more efficient at Abbé-Deschamps than away, where it only collected a small point. It was precisely during his last trip, to Lyon, against another big name, a fortnight ago. Enough to create a real dynamic? Christophe Pélissier got the message across. “We have three quality matches and we know why we did that. We will have to be at 110% of our possibilities.” The stage is set.
The expected compositions:
OM : Rulli – Murillo, Balerdi, Brassier, Merlin – Rabiot, Højbjerg, Koné – Greenwood, Maupay, Rowe.
AJA : Léon – Hoever, Raveloson, Osho, Akpa, Mensah – Owusu, Danish – Perrin, Bair, Traoré.
Where to watch the match?
This match between Olympique de Marseille and AJ Auxerre will be broadcast this Friday evening on DAZN, from 8:45 p.m.
