After a disappointing elimination against LOSC in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France, on penalties, Olympique de Marseille wants to raise its head this Sunday evening, when it hosts Racing Club de Strasbourg. Runner-up to PSG at kick-off, the Marseille club has the opportunity to come back to seven lengths behind PSG in the event of a victory but above all to distance itself from the Mastiffs, third in L1 with 32 units.

Undefeated for six matches, the Phocaeans will still have to be wary of the Alsatian team, who have shown great confidence in recent weeks. Qualified in pain in the Coupe de France against the amateurs of Thaon, the RCSA of Liam Rosenior, tenth in the championship, remains on three consecutive victories against Le Havre (3-0), Auxerre (3-1) and Toulouse (2-1 ). For this meeting, Roberto De Zerbi will however be deprived of Ruben Blanco, Kondogbia, Rongier, Harit, Carboni, Moumbagna and Wahi, all in the infirmary.
OM with Nadir and Garcia
From then on, the Italian technician should opt for a 3-4-2-1 with the sparkling Rulli in the Marseille cages. In defense, Cornelius and Brassier will accompany captain Balerdi while Garcia and Luis Henrique are expected in the Marseille corridors. In midfield, the young Nadir is also tipped to start, just like the untouchable Höjbjerg. Finally, Rabiot and Greenwood will support Maupay, once again aligned at the forefront of the Olympian attack.

-For his part, Liam Rosienor is making this trip without injured Wiley, Delaine, Mwanga and Sahi Dion, while Sobol is suspended. The Alsatian club should therefore be organized in 4-2-3-1 and Petrovic is logically expected in goal. To form the defensive quartet, Doué, Sarr, Doukouré and Diego Moreira could be associated. In the midfield, Andrey Santos and Diarra will form the double pivot while Bakwa, Lemarechal and Nanasi will play just behind Emegha, alone at the forefront.
