The last for Mikautadze and Maziz?
In the pre-match on Prime Video, Pierre Dréossi, director of football for Metz, indicated that it was “probable” that Mikautadze and Maziz, holders this evening, will leave the club in the coming days.
Strong start to the season for the Messins
Crushed in Rennes (1-5) on Sunday, Metz had a complicated return to Ligue 1. The start of the calendar looks complicated for a promoted player (OM today, then Clermont, Reims, Lens, Strasbourg, Toulouse and Nice) , but the Garnets will try to snatch their first points in 2023-24.
The composition of OM, Soglo holder
The young Emran Soglo (18), sensation of summer preparation and new darling of the supporters, starts as left winger. The Aubame-Ndiaye doublet is lined up in front, while Mbemba continues in defense.
Lopez – Clauss, Mbemba, Balerdi, Lodi – Sarr, Kondogbia, Rongier, Soglo – Aubameyang, Ndiaye.
Marcelino’s Marseillais will they raise their heads?
Three days following the end of their Champions League dreams, taken out by Panathinaikos in the preliminary round, OM return to the field of Ligue 1. Stunning winners of Reims at the Vélodrome last weekend (2-1), the Marseillais are going to want to put aside their European disillusionment to get back on track and continue.
The Eleven of Metz, with two new features
Despite his inaugural defeat once morest Rennes, Laszlo Boloni only changed two men: Koffi Kouao and Lamine Camara paid the price and were replaced in the eleven by Aboubacar Lô and Malick Mbaye. Top scorer in Ligue 2 last season, Georges Mikautadze will be the number 1 threat up front.
Oukidja – Colin, Traoré, Lo, Cande – Jean James, N’Doram – Mbaye, Maziz, Sabaly – Mikautadze.
Kick off at 9:00 p.m.
Welcome to this live RMC Sport to follow the opening match of the 2nd day of Ligue 1 live between FC Metz (18th) and Olympique de Marseille (5th) on the lawn of the Stade Saint-Symphorien. Kick-off is scheduled for Friday evening at 9:00 p.m.
This meeting comes three days following the disappointment of OM, eliminated from the Champions League in the third preliminary round by Panathinaikos. A poor performance that had to be digested, so much so that Jonathan Clauss spoke of a “day of mourning”.
But in a pre-match press conference, Spanish coach Marcelino assured that OM were on the right track, despite the shortcomings displayed during the two European matches.
The group is complete on the OM side, not to mention Pape Gueye, suspended by FIFA, and Ruslan Malinovskyi, pending transfer. François-Régis Mughe, who suffered from ankle pain following the 2-1 victory once morest Reims, is operational.
