If PSG obviously has to do without Kylian Mbappé, OM will also have to deal with the absence of several important players. Igor Tudor has confirmed Leonardo Balerdi, Eric Bailly and Nuno Tavares will miss the clash. The last minute absence of the Portuguese piston is a small tile. It forced the OM coach to completely reshape his starting lineup.
A largely disrupted defensive sector
Marseille should keep its animation in 3-4-3, but the defensive sector will be largely turned upside down. The usual right piston Jonathan Clauss could slide left to supplement Tavares, thus leaving the right flank to Ünder. Kolasinac was another alternative to replace Tavares, but he must also make up for the absence of Balerdi in central defense. He should thus start alongside Mbemba and Gigot in the three-man defense, ahead of the irremovable Pau Lopez.
In the midfield, Rongier could be aligned with Veretout, even if the hypothesis of seeing Guendouzi come down cannot be ruled out. The trend for the French international would be a new tenure in the offensive line. Malinovskyi is tipped to support Alexis Sanchez.
The probable line-up of OM : Lopez – Mbemba, Gigot, Kolasinac – Ünder, Rongier, Veretout, Clauss – Malinovskyi, Sanchez, Guendouzi.
