For the opposition against Hyères, Igor Tudor has decided to innovate within his line of attack.
On behalf of the 32nd Coupe de France final, OM will face Hyères (N2) this Saturday from 3.30pm. An unbalanced match on paper and one that Marseille will not face with their typical team.
Tudor gives Dieng a chance
As was the case at PSG the day before, Igor Tudor made several changes to his incoming squad. In attack, in particular, he has chosen to do without Alexis Sanchez. The Chilean saves money and it is Bamba Dieng who takes the opportunity to find a starting position for the 1And times since last October.
The Senegalese has the chance to score points with his coach.
In midfield, the Croatian has also decided to rely on Jordan Veretout and Pape Gueye, while Valentin Rongier starts on the bench. Mattéo Guendouzi is there, but he will evolve into a rather advanced position.
Payet left on the bench
Dimitri Payet could have hoped to be a starter, but his manager decided to leave him on the bench. Maybe count on him for the most important matches in the league?
In defense the trio lined up is quite strong. Mbemba, Bailly and Balerdi are called to play. The team from Hyères will certainly have a lot to do to get around this rearguard. In the end Ruben Blanco was chosen between the posts. The Spaniard was preferred to his compatriot Pau Lopez.
The titular formation of the OM:
White ; Snake, Bailly, Balerdi; Issa Kabore, Veretout, Gueye, Kolasinac; Guendouzi, Under, Dieng.
