Team News

Marseille
SC Bastia
  • Marcelo Bielsa is without suspended duo Benjamin Mendy and Jacques-Alaixys Romao ahead of this weekend's match, meaning that Brice Dja Djédjé will start.
  • André Ayew is a doubt for what would be his last competitive match for l'Olympique de Marseille, while Rod Fanni and André-Pierre Gignac will say their goodbyes to the Stade Vélodrome on Saturday evening.
  • The Argentine manager - who could also leave the club at the end of the season - may have to call on academy player Momar Bangoura depending on André Ayew and Abdel Barrada's fitness.
  • The Corsicans head into this match without captain Yannick Cahuzac, who is suspended.
  • Sébastien Squillaci will benefit from the summer break to recover from his thigh injury, while Drissa Diakité has a slim chance of travelling with his teammates to Marseille.
  • Francois Modesto misses out due to personal reasons.

Prediction

  • L'Olympique de Marseille have won 3 league matches in a row for the first time since October, but this might be too late to secure Champions League football, as les Phocéens remain dependent on l'ASM's performance at Lorient this weekend. In any case, this match will surely have consequences on Marcelo Bielsa's future - who remains a fan favourite - as well as on several key players such as Nicolas N'Koulou and Steve Mandanda.
  • In the meantime, Bastia head into this match hoping to gatecrash Ligue 1's top 10 on the final day of the season, but this weekend's performance will have a limited impact on Ghislain Printant's future.
  • The hosts have returned to form of late and should, with the full backing of the Stade Vélodrome, continue to do so this weekend while hoping for Monaco to slip up.
