We’re not starting off on huge bases, I’m not going to lie to you.
And bam, a tackle from Gueye on Haraldsson!
The Lille people escaped unscathed.
But hey, these are still stats to wait for before kick-off, nothing more.
The Englishman only stayed for one season, on loan from Liverpool, in 2011-2012. Tempus fugit.
On the Lille side, Rafael Fernandes, the Portuguese defender who arrived in January, Umtiti and Angel Gomes are absent. Among the Marseillais, it was a massacre: Mbemba joined Clauss, Meïté, Murillo, Sarr, Rongier and Nadir in the infirmary.
Three defeats in a row, in all competitions. If OM loses this evening in Lille, they will already be very happy to play in the Europa Conference League next year.
First of all, that of Losc.
Well, it will never be dear enough in the eyes of Vincent Labrune and the club presidents, but that is not the subject of the day. Lille welcomes Marseille, two teams who are still in the fight to secure a European place: the Champions League for Losc, 4th; the Europa League (at best) for OM, 7th.
But the two teams also remain engaged on the continental scene this season, and are preparing for the quarter-final first leg next Thursday. Lille will face Aston Villa in Birmingham in the Europa Conference League, while Marseille will challenge Benfica in Lisbon.
