To receive OM this Sunday at 1 pm, Claude Puel could return almost the same men as in Montpellier last week in a 4-4-2 despite some uncertainties that still hung at the end of the week. He has called in 23 players to make up for any last-minute failures.
The coach could be tempted to trade his system for a three-way midfielder if he decides to pair Lucas Gourna and Yvan Neyou – who are back – who usually play as sentries – with Mahdi Camara. Healed from an ingrown toenail, Miguel Trauco should return to his place on the left to the detriment of Gabriel Silva.
On the Marseilles side, the utility device by Jorge Sampaoli, with the Thauvin-Payet duo at the heart of the game, leaves the corridors to the side.
The probable compositions. ASSE: Green – Debuchy (c), Moukoudi, Cissé, Trauco – Gourna, Camara, Nordin, Bouanga, Hamouma, Khazri; Marseille: Mandanda (c) – Balerdi, Alvaro, Caleta-Car – Lirola, Kamara, Gueye (or Rongier), Nagatomo – Thauvin, Milik, Payet.
