In great form in Ligue 1, Jean-Louis Gasset’s OM faces Marcelino’s Villarreal on Thursday evening in the round of 16 first leg of the Europa League. The meeting, scheduled for 9 p.m., is broadcast on a free-to-air and free streaming channel.
OM: The 4-3-1-2 diamond renewed?
Jean-Louis Gasset juggled between tactical formulas during his three matches, playing in 3-5-2, 4-2-3-1 then in 4-3-1-2 during the victory at Clermont last Saturday ( 1-5), with Iliman Ndiaye at number 10 behind Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Ismaïla Sarr right winger/right attacker. Chancel Mbemba and Leonardo Balerdi are associated in central defense in the absence of Samuel Gigot. Jean Onana and Pape Gueye are not registered on the UEFA list. Note that Jonathan Clauss will be suspended in the event of a warning.
The probable composition: Lopez – Clauss, Mbemba, Balerdi, Merlin – Veretout, Kondogbia, Harit – Ndiaye – Sarr, Aubameyang.
Villarreal: Guedes announced as holder
After 3-1 victories against Real Sociedad and 5-1 against Granada, Marcelino will rotate a little. Alexander Sorloth, who remains on a hat-trick, should give way to Gonçalo Guedes, the former Portuguese striker of PSG, to accompany star captain Gerard Moreno. In the middle, Etienne Capoue and Dani Parejo should give way to Francis Coquelin and Santi Comesaña.
The probable composition: Reina – Mosquera, Bailly, Cuenca, Moreno – Akhomach, Comesaña, Coquelin, Baena – Guedes, Gerard Moreno.
How to watch the OM-Villarreal match in streaming?
This OM European League match, in a Vélodrome that is ultimately full (the North bend will be filled with 5,000 children), will be broadcast on Canal+ Foot but also unencrypted on M6, which has canceled its flagship program Beijing Express. The meeting will therefore be streamed on the 6play site and application (free creation of an account is necessary).
