Following their impressive 5-1 victory over Montpellier, Marseille is looking to maintain their winning momentum as they prepare to face Brest in Sunday’s Ligue 1 fixture. Manager Roberto De Zerbi is likely to retain the same lineup that proved so effective in their previous match.

The defense is expected to remain unchanged, with Geoffrey Kondogbia continuing in his central defensive role alongside Michael Murillo and Ulisses Garcia. In midfield, the duo of Valentin Rongier and Pierre-Emile Højberg are set to maintain their positions in a double pivot formation.

Amine Gouiri is anticipated to lead the attack once again, building on his recent strong performances. The team’s tactical approach aims to capitalize on the chemistry and confidence gained from their last outing.

Marseille’s Probable Starting Lineup vs Brest:

Goalkeeper: Gerónimo Rulli
Defenders: Michael Murillo, Geoffrey Kondogbia, Ulisses Garcia
Midfielders: Luis Henrique, Pierre-Emile Højberg, Valentin Rongier, Quentin Merlin
Forwards: Mason Greenwood, Amine Gouiri, Adrien Rabiot

This lineup reflects De Zerbi’s strategy to maintain consistency and build upon the team’s recent success as they aim to secure another crucial victory in their Ligue 1 campaign.
