It’s been a chaotic week for Olympique de Marseille as they reel from last weekend’s shock 3-1 loss to Stade de Reims. That defeat was the fourth in the previous five games and the third Les Phocéens have suffered in a row.
There has been talk of Roberto De Zerbi switching up his team and shifting away from a back three, particularly after centre-back Leonardo Balerdi’s season-ending injury. However, L’Équipe predicts that the Italian will stick with his 3-4-2-1 formation against Toulouse FC, with Geoffrey Kondogbia dropping back into the defensive line.
Mason Greenwood and Luis Henrique have come under criticism recently, but both players will likely be in the starting lineup. Amine Gouiri was reportedly a doubt for this fixture after he missed training on Friday, which means Neal Maupay will likely lead the line.
