After a tough defeat against Monaco, Olympique de Marseille is preparing to face Montpellier, the Ligue 1 bottom team. This match presents an opportunity for Roberto De Zerbi’s men to get back on track. He will have to make crucial choices regarding his team’s composition for this decisive match. Olympique de Marseille has just suffered a significant setback in Monaco, which has put the team under pressure for the end of the season. Against Montpellier, who are also going through a difficult period, OM must bounce back. Montpellier is going through a difficult period and the Marseille coach hopes to take advantage of this situation to regain control. Roberto De Zerbi will be without his captain Balerdi for this match. However, a return to the starting lineup for Amine Gouiri is being considered after his convincing performance against Monaco. Hojbjerg is expected to start, while Luiz Felipe could still be considered too short to join his teammates on the pitch. The return of players like Hojbjerg and Gouiri could prove crucial for OM. Gouiri, in particular, is a key element in the attack and could inject new dynamics into the team. Rulli will certainly line up in goal to provide defensive stability. In defense, Murillo, Kondogbia (or Cornelius), and Ulysses Garcia could form a three-man defensive line. Quentin Merlin and Dedic could be favored as pistons, on the left and right, respectively. Luiz Henrique could start on the bench. Bennacer’s recent statements regarding the tensions between the players and coach De Zerbi have shed light on the internal issues within OM. These tensions must be managed so that the team can focus on the most important thing: winning on the pitch. In any case, the match against Montpellier is crucial for regaining confidence and performance at this stage of the season.An expected reaction from OM
