Hello everyone and welcome to Nice-OM live
This is the very big poster for the ninth day of Ligue 1: OM travels to Nice at 9 p.m. this Saturday. The Aiglons are second in the ranking while Marseille are in sixth place.
With a big 3-0 victory against Le Havre on the clock, before the international break, Marseille wants to capitalize. Especially since Gennaro Gattuso’s men continue with the reception of AEK Athens on Thursday, in the Europa League.
For the Aiglons, still undefeated since the start of the season and therefore under the Francesco Farioli era, the objective is to return to the field. Because if the results are good, extra-sporting has taken an important place in recent weeks, between the Jean-Clair Todibo controversy and the suspension “until further notice” of Youcef Atal. The Algerian international is also the subject of a preliminary investigation for “apology of terrorism”, opened by the Nice Prosecutor’s Office after the player relayed a call for hatred targeting Jews on social networks.
Nice-OM, kick-off at 9 p.m. at the Allianz Riviera. Match broadcast on TV on Canal+ Sport 360, to follow live on radio on RMC and in our live text on RMC Sport.
