The 12th matchday of Ligue 1 continues as Marseille hosts Stade Brestois at the Orange Vélodrome, kicking off at 5:00 PM IST. Marseille, having won only once in their last five matches across all competitions, sits 2nd in Ligue 1 with 22 points, two points behind PSG, who are set to play Lyon on Sunday. A win for the Olympians could temporarily lift them to the top of the table. In contrast, Brest is struggling, sitting in 13th place and managing just three points from their last five games.
For this match, coach De Zerbi is still without Balerdi, Gouiri, Medina, and Traoré. Emerson returns to the left side of defense after his suspension during the defeat against Atalanta in the Champions League (0-1). The lineup features Pavard and Aguerd at center-back, with Murillo on the right. Hojbjerg and Vermeeren will play in midfield, while Aubameyang, preferred over Vaz, leads the attack supported by Angel Gomes, Greenwood, and Paixao. On the opposite side, coach Eric Roy is missing only Doumbia. Captain Chardonnet pairs with Coulibaly in the Breton defense, and Chotard and Magnetti are set in midfield, with Baldé, Del Castillo, and Mboup supporting Ajorque up front.
Official Lineups:
OM: Rulli – Murillo, Pavard, Aguerd, Emerson – Hojbjerg, Vermeeren – Greenwood, Angel Gomes, Paixao – Aubameyang.
Brest: Majecki – Lala, Chardonnet, Coulibaly, Locko – Chotard, Magnetti – Baldé, Del Castillo, Mboup – Ajorque.
