OM face Monaco this Sunday at 8:45 p.m. at the Vélodrome. Here is the starting lineup lined up by the Argentinian coach of Olympique de Marseille against the Monegasque club: Pau Lopez in goal with a classic defensive trio made up of Luan Peres, Saliba and Caleta-Car.
In the middle, Rongier and Kamara will have Guendouzi and Gerson at their side. In the absence of Ünder, it is an axial attacking trio which is chosen by Sampaoli. Payet will be behind an Arek Milik and Bakambu doublet.
On the bench, the coach will have offensive solutions with Bamba Dieng, Harit or Luis Henrique and De la Fuente. Gueye could also come to the midfield.

Pre-match statements
” It’s a very important match for us, against a great team prepared to play in the C1. Our reality today is to know where we are. We will have to be up to an opponent who will do everything to win this match. I don’t see it as a decisive game, not a not a last opportunity“. Jorge Sampaoli – Source: Press conference (04/03/22)
” We are disappointed not to have qualified for the final of the Coupe de France, but I do not feel any negative pressure on the group. We are aware of our qualities and the coach gives us his confidence. We have a big meeting on Sunday in Marseille, but we know we can win. So we don’t feel any negative pressure, we just need to be focused on the next deadlines. We can compete with OM. When I look in the locker room at the players around me, I see a lot of quality. There are many internationals and players who can be, so I don’t think Marseille are superior to us. We just lacked a bit of luck in the last few matches. » Myron Boadu— Source: Press conference (03/03/22)
