On August 22nd, OGC Nice hosted Olympique de Marseille. While the Aiglons were leading 1-0 thanks to a goal from Kasper Dolberg, the match had to be interrupted 15 minutes before the end due to incidents between supporters and players. The match was then canceled and rescheduled for this Wednesday, October 27th.
With the tense events that marked the August match, there is no doubt that we are in for a big battle at the Stade de l’Aube in Troyes.
After their thrilling victory at the Allianz Riviera against Olympique Lyonnais (3-2) this weekend, the Aiglons will once again have to deliver a strong performance against Marseille tonight without their supporters.
The OM players could also have won at home against a Paris Saint-Germain down in numbers an hour into the game, but they will only secure one point in the end.
For this suspenseful match, we expect team lineups similar to those we saw this weekend. However, former Montpellier player Andy Delort, who scored against Lyon from a penalty, will not be on the match sheet as he was not yet with Nice during the August match.
OGC Nice: in 4-4-2
Benitez – Atal, Todibo, Dante, Bard – Boudaoui or Claude Maurice, Rosario, Thuram, Kamara or Da Cunha – Dolberg, Gouiri
Absentees:
Bambu (ankle trauma), Stengs (quadriceps lesion), Kluivert (returning)
Olympique de Marseille: in 3-4-3
Lopez – Saliba, Caleta Car, Peres – Rongier, Guendouzi, Kamara, Lirola or Gerson – Under, Milik, Payet
Another reason to follow this clash: the two teams are close in the Ligue 1 standings, with Nice in third place and OM in fourth.
Should the Azurean club win, the Aiglons would be second behind PSG, otherwise Marseille would take third place.
