📰 Team News: FC Lorient
The FC Lorient boss Christophe Pélissier will be grateful to have no fitness concerns at all ahead of this game with a fully injury-free squad ready to go.
We think that Les Merlus will probably employ a 3-5-2 system for this one with Matthieu Dreyer, Houboulang Mendes, Julien Laporte, Jeremy Morel, Igor Carioca, Enzo Le Fee, Fabien Lemoine, Laurent Abergel, Vincent Le Goff, Terem Moffi and Armand Lauriente.
🗞️ Team News: Marseille
Marseille manager Jorge Sampaoli has some current player fitness concerns. Dimitri Payet (Calf Problems), Konrad de la Fuente (Arthroscopie) and Leonardo Balerdi (Shoulder Injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.
From our viewpoint, Les Olympiens appear most likely to begin the game with a 3-2-4-1 formation, settling for Steve Mandanda, William Saliba, Duje Caleta-Car, Luan Peres, Valentin Rongier, Boubacar Kamara, Cengiz Under, Matteo Guendouzi, Pape Gueye, Gerson and Cedric Bakambu.
💭 Prediction
Our feeling is that FC Lorient may find it difficult to find the net against this Marseille lineup who we think will manage to score & go ahead.
Our tip is therefore for a very even match with a 0-1 victory for Marseille when the full-time whistle blows.
Will be interesting to see how this one goes.
