Marseille wants to bounce back after the slaps in Lyon and Nice
First shot on target of the game
It’s not very dangerous, with an overly applied long shot from Traoré that Lopez calmly captures.
What a ball from Boulaya, again
Mafouta is a bit too short to touch the ball, and he hits Lopez in his tracks.
It closed down a bit
We feel that Metz is more attentive to the spaces left and that Marseille is patient.
Word game enthusiasts are also present
But we don’t know whether to congratulate them.
OM away from the Velodrome
Marseille have won 5 of their last 6 trips to Ligue 1. The Phocaeans are still on a defeat in the last (1-2 in Lyon), but have no longer chained 2 defeats in a row away from home. elite since March 2021.
This start to the match is rather lively
There are spaces at each ball recovery. This time, Metz is in a striking position. Delaine is offset by Boulaya, but his left half-volley is difficult and even misses so much that the ball does not come out.
And Antonetti’s first cries come quickly
Generous foul whistled on Dieng, which prevents the Messins from going against.
The first strike is for Dieng
The Senegalese is put in a shooting position at the entrance to the surface after a superb ball release from OM, very vertical.
Let’s go !
Kick off given by the Garnets.
Both teams enter the field
To the son of Hell’s Bells from AC/DC. Good choice.
Longoria talks about Alvaro and his interview in the Spanish press
Pablo Longoria on Amazon about Alvaro Gonzalez: “We, as a club, were not happy with his release in the Spanish press without the club’s agreement or the knowledge of the club. It was the first mistake . we spoke. We talked about Alvaro and I, within the club too. Here at OM, our way of being and doing things is to solve our problems at home. inside the locker room. We talked a lot. We found a solution but at OM, we solve the problems inside.”
We watch the lawn
It was recently changed, but is probably not yet completely on top. She already looks pretty degraded, and it shouldn’t be getting any better.
The composition of Metz
And here is the eleven of the Messins
The composition of OM
No Milik but Dieng holder in attack
Lopez – Lirola, Saliba, Caleta-Car – Guendouzi, Kamara, Gueye, Gerson – Payet – Dieng, Bakambu
In Metz, a few injured
On the Messin side, Frédéric Antonetti will have to do without Alakouch, Cabit, Centonze, Udol or even N’Doram, all injured.
A group almost complete for Sampaoli
He can count on a full squad for this trip, even if Konrad de la Fuente is not part of the selected group.
Many draws between the two teams
The first leg, in early November at the Vélodrome, ended in a 0-0. Note also that the last four games between OM and FC Metz have ended in a draw. We must therefore go back to February 2018 to see another, namely a large Marseille success (6-3).
