After a grueling international break for a large part of its squad, theMarseille Olympic plunges back into his domestic games with a trip to Montpellier. Third in the standings, the Marseille club approaches this meeting with the ambition of starting a new dynamic of victories.
A match a priori in the ropes for Roberto De Zerbi’s team since Montpellier is in penultimate place in this French championship. But the Italian technician will have to make strong choices for his starting lineup, in all lines.
A new chance for Wahi?
If the excellent Rulli, in great form with Argentina, will hold his place in goal, the central defense could be made up of Balerdi and Cornelius. It is in the middle that a first surprise could take place with the possible tenure of Adrien Rabiot alongside the indispensable Pierre-Emile Højbjerg.
In attack, another headache will arise for De Zerbi. The Italian must do without the services of Neal Maupay, suspended after his red card against Angers before the break. Will Elye Wahi, in a crisis of confidence, be brought back into the starting team at the forefront of the attack?
The expected lineup for OM : Rulli – Murillo, Kondogbia, Balerdi, Brassier – Rabiot, Hojbjerg – Greenwood, Harit, Rowe – Wahi.
