Team News

Marseille
Saint-Etienne
  • With the arrival of Algerian international Ismael Bennacer, he has formed a midfield partnership with Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, relegating Valentin Rongier to the bench.
  • Bennacer’s recruitment has also prompted a tactical shift from the previous 3-4-3 formation to a 3-4-2-1, with Adrien Rabiot operating behind the strike duo of Amine Gouiri and Mason Greenwood.
  • The team remains without long-term absentees Rubén Blanco, Faris Moumbagna, Valentín Carboni, and Amine Harit.
  • The return of Dylan Batubinsika from suspension will bolster Saint-Étienne’s defence, allowing Léo Pétrot to return to his natural position on the left side.
  • Aside from that, Eirik Horneland’s side remains without their four long-term absentees: Yvann Maçon, Ben Old, Ibrahima Wadji, and Aïmen Moueffek.

Prediction

  • Olympique de Marseille hosts AS Saint-Étienne at the Orange Vélodrome in what promises to be a crucial Ligue 1 fixture. Marseille comes into this match in strong form, sitting second in the league table with 43 points from 21 matches. They have won their last two games, including a 2-0 victory over Angers and a thrilling 3-2 win against Lyon. Their attacking line, led by Mason Greenwood and Amine Gouiri, continues to impress despite not having played together for a long time.
  • Saint-Étienne, on the other hand, finds itself struggling near the relegation zone, currently 16th with 18 points. Eirik Horneland’s side is winless in their last five matches. Their defensive frailties have been exposed repeatedly, and facing an in-form Marseille away from home adds to their challenge.
  • Marseille has dominated recent meetings between these two sides, winning their last five encounters, including a 4-0 victory in their most recent clash. With home advantage, superior form, and a more complete squad, Marseille is expected to control the game from start to finish.
