The lines fell before the clash of the 13th day between OM and AS Monaco, this Sunday, at the Vélodrome.
Something promised, something due. As Roberto De Zerbi announced at a press conference, Valentin Rongier is starting in the middle of OM to face Monaco this Sunday (9 p.m., live commentary), at the Vélodrome, during the shock of the 13th day of L1. The former Nantes player will accompany Pierre-Emile Højbjerg and Adrien Rabiot in the Marseille midfield. A priori, the Italian coach starts with a 4-3-3 with the Murillo/Balerdi/Kondogbia/Garcia quartet behind. Up front, Mason Greenwood, Neal Maupay and Luis Henrique will be responsible for shaking the Monegasque defense on the “Vel'” meadow.
A defense which will have to do without Thilo Kehrer, replacing this Sunday evening, like Caio Henrique. Mohammed Salisu and Christian Mawissa feature in Adi Hutter's 11. In front, it is the American international Folarin Balogin, back from injury, who is preferred to Breel Embolo and George Ilenikhena. The former Rémois will be powered by a trio that is flashy to say the least, with Aleksandr Golovin, Eliesse Ben Seghir and Maghnes Akliouche. Remember that Marseille-Monaco is a clash between third and second in the standings. PSG left points on the road against Nantes (1-1). So there is a good chance to play. The winner will be second.
