Marseille’s Expected Lineup for Crucial Match Against Lyon

Olympique de Marseille is set to face Olympique Lyonnais in a highly anticipated Ligue 1 encounter. Their previous meeting saw Marseille clinch victory with a late goal, and they’ll be hoping for a similar result this time around.

Manager Roberto De Zerbi is expected to make just one change to the team that lost to Nice last week. Derek Cornelius will likely replace Lilian Brassier, who has been loaned out to Rennes. The team is expected to maintain their 3-4-2-1 formation.

Up front, Neal Maupay is set to lead the line as the sole striker, with Adrien Rabiot and Mason Greenwood providing support just behind him. The midfield will likely consist of Valentin Rongier and Pierre-Emile Højbjerg as the central pair.

Marseille’s Probable Starting XI:

Goalkeeper: Gerónimo Rulli
Defense: Derek Cornelius, Leonardo Balerdi, Michael Amir Murillo
Midfield: Quentin Merlin, Valentin Rongier, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, Luis Hernique
Attack: Adrien Rabiot, Mason Greenwood, Neal Maupay
