⚪🔵 Olympique Marseille – Chasing Stability

Marseille’s season has been marked by flashes of brilliance, but inconsistency has often undermined their progress. With a passionate home crowd behind them, they’ll aim to dominate possession and break down Lorient’s compact defense.

Key Players:

• Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – The veteran striker remains Marseille’s biggest goal threat, combining experience with sharp finishing.

• Jordan Veretout – The midfield orchestrator, crucial for dictating tempo and delivering set-piece quality.

• Samuel Gigot – Solid at the back, his leadership will be vital in handling Lorient’s counter-attacks.

Tactics: Expect Marseille to line up in a 4-3-3, focusing on wide play and aggressive pressing high up the pitch.

Key Players:

• Eli Kroupi Jr. – The teenage sensation has been Lorient’s brightest attacking spark, capable of producing goals from nothing.

• Laurent Abergel – A tireless midfielder who anchors the side with energy and interceptions.

• Bamba Dieng – Facing his former club, the Senegalese striker will be eager to make an impact.

Tactics: Lorient are expected to deploy a 5-4-1 setup, prioritizing compactness and looking to hit on the counter.
