Well placed lamb
Samuel Gigot is well placed and pushes the cross from Bradley Barcola to the near post. Les Gones have entered the game well and have just made a very good offensive movement.
Lots of whistles
The start of the match was slightly choppy and Jérôme Brisard had to intervene several times to calm everyone’s ardor.
Leg is touched
Samuel Gigot complains about his hand which is already strapped. Chancel Mbemba is already warming up.
Late Balerdi
Leonardo Balerdi commits the first foul of the evening. The Argentinian is behind Rayan Cherki who had made a clever diversion towards Tagliafico.
Clauss finally on the right
While he was supposed to start on the left, Jonathan Clauss is finally on the right while Issa Kaboré takes the left lane.
Let’s go to Groupama Stadium!
Jérôme Brisard raises the whistle to his mouth and kicks off this clash of the 32nd day of Ligue 1 between OL and OM in a magnificent atmosphere.
Kick off in 15 mins
The kick-off of this Olympico will be given in fifteen minutes from now. The issues are multiple. OL can get closer to European places while OM can regain their 2nd place.
400 Marseille supporters present
This is an important return in the stands. Marseille supporters were allowed to travel and go to Groupama Stadium. They will be around 400 in the visitor parking lot to support their team.
And OM know how to move
If the Marseillais can no longer win in Lyon, this may be the year to do so. The Phocaeans are on a very good pace away this season with 11 away wins. They have done better only three times in their history.
Lyon knows how to receive OM
Olympique Lyonnais no longer loses when they receive Olympique de Marseille with no defeats in the last 13 Lyon receptions.

Two major absentees for OM
As announced by RMC Sport, Dimitri Payet has a physical problem, he is not on the trip to the Rhône and he has gone back home. This season, his playing time is limited (728 minutes in 21 games), the Reunionese having only eight starts in Ligue 1. For his part, Nuno Tavares received a blow this week in training. He is also absent from the Marseille group.
Hello everyone
Olympico night at Groupama Stadium this Sunday! After OM’s first leg victory (1-0), Igor Tudor’s players have an appointment in Lyon at 8:45 p.m. to try to grab the victory which has been fleeing the Marseillais since 2007.
This shock of the 32nd day has a double objective for the two teams. OL can come back to three points from 5th place, while OM must win to regain 2nd place, stolen by Lens after their success on Saturday against Monaco (3-0).
