A match between two teams who are still seeking a third of the championship and whose primary objective is to win a European place. After eleven days, Olympique de Marseille is ahead of RC Lens by 3 points, which shows the importance of the result for both competitors.
A match which will also be a confrontation between one of the best right wingers in the championship against one of the best left defenders. Facundo Medina will undoubtedly have a hard time facing the English Mason Greenwoodwho has already scored 8 goals in 11 matches. Technically very comfortable, realistic in front of goal where his vicious strikes often hit the mark, he is OM's best offensive weapon.
Like many of his teammates, he is affected by Stade Vélodrome syndrome, but he performs away from home where he has scored 6 of his 8 goals.
Away from his bases, he flies over the matches (Brest, Toulouse, Montpellier, Nantes and even Strasbourg where OM had missed their match and where he had the only danger from Marseille.
In front of him, there will certainly be Divers Machado in first blade and Facundo Medina at the conclusion. The Argentinian from RC Lens, the last of the Lensois internationals to play (Argentina-Peru Wednesday at 1:00 a.m.) will not return to La Gaillette before Thursday evening, but should be lined up by Will Still, Khusanov being suspended.
On a good day, the Argentine defender should be able to thwart the British winger, or even get him out of his match, as the Englishman is not a model of composure.
If we don't want to see Place to shine at the top, it will be necessary to ensure that Greenwood cannot serve it in good conditions. Facwe're counting on you, but watch out for the boxes…
