Optimism, a concept widely discussed in Marseille for a week. By reducing the gap against Benfica, Pierre-Emerick Aubemayang completely changed the situation for this return match against the Lisbon team. However, hope does not only lie in the result within the Marseille team.

Gasset starts Soglo

While Jean-Louis Gasset finds himself forced to play non-specialist players in the right-back position, the French international continues his recovery period with the aim of making his return for this crucial meeting, although it seems still uncertain. The major surprise comes from the left side, with the presence of Soglo in the starting lineup.

In addition, OM will be able to count on its other talents. Mbemba and Balerdi will be there. In midfield, the Kondogbia-Veretout-Ounahi trio is expected. Harit should support Ndiaye and Aubameyang.

The probable composition of OM : Lopez – Mbemba, Gigot (c), Balerdi, Soglo – Veretout, Kondogbia, Ounahi – Harit – Ndiaye, Aubameyang.
