Olympique de Marseille welcomes Benfica Lisbon in the quarter-final second leg of the Europa League, this Thursday (9 p.m.). Here is the expected line-up for the Marseille club.
Hope, a term that has been on everyone's lips for a week in Marseille. By reducing the score against Benfica, Pierre-Emerick Aubemayang completely redistributed the cards for this second round against the Lisbon team. But it is not only in terms of the result that hope remains in the Marseille ranks.
In the race against time to get certain players back on their feet, Olympique de Marseille also hopes to record some good news. One case is attracting all the attention before this quarter-final return: Jonathan Clauss.
Gasset starts Soglo
While Jean-Louis Gasset is forced to field players who are not specialists in this right-back position, the French international continued his convalescence with the objective of making his return for this big deadline, but he remains too just. The big surprise comes from the left side, with the tenure of Soglo.
Furthermore, OM will count on its other strong forces. Mbemba will continue, just like Balerdi. In the midfield, the Kondogbia-Veretout-Ounahi trio is expected. Harit should support Ndiaye and Aubameyang.
The expected lineup for OM : Lopez – Mbemba, Gigot (c), Balerdi, Soglo – Veretout, Kondogbia, Ounahi – Harit – Ndiaye, Aubameyang.
