Marseille’s Anticipated Formation for Angers Clash: Gouiri Starts, Kondogbia Back in Action

Following their thrilling 3-2 victory over Lyon at the Stade de Vélodrome, Olympique de Marseille, under Roberto De Zerbi’s guidance, are aiming for consecutive wins as they face Angers SCO away at the Stade Raymond Kopa.

Amine Gouiri is poised to make his full debut for Marseille, likely replacing Neal Maupay in the starting lineup. The former Rennes player made a significant impact as a substitute last week, providing an assist for Mason Greenwood’s goal shortly after entering the field.

Another key change in Marseille’s lineup could be the return of Geoffrey Kondogbia. The midfielder has recovered from a calf injury that sidelined him since the winter break and is expected to take Derek Cornelius’ place in the three-man defense.

Marseille’s Projected Starting XI vs Angers:

Gerónimo Rulli; Geoffrey Kondogbia, Leonardo Balerdi, Michael Amir Murillo; Quentin Merlin, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, Valentin Rongier, Luis Henrique; Adrien Rabiot, Mason Greenwood; Amine Gouiri.
