Team News

Marseille
Reims
  • Marcelino has favoured a 4-4-2 and is likely to continue to line up in that way, even if the personnel at his disposal isn't ideal for it.
  • Midfielder Pape Gueye has been handed a four-month ban by FIFA for breaching his contract with Watford.
  • Mattéo Guendouzi is also an option in central midfield.
  • Manchester City loanee Josh Wilson-Esbrand is also an option at left back.
  • Look for Marshall Munetsi to continue to be used in a more attacking role.
  • New signing Oumar Diakité should lead the line in place of the departed Folarin Balogun.

Prediction

  • After a galling defeat against Panathinaikos in the Champions League play-in round this week, Marseille will look for improvement in the league.
  • They are unlikely to find much solace against Reims, however, as the eastern side are mostly as you were, having retained their key players from a side who were consistently difficult to beat under Will Still in his first season in charge.
