Eliminated from all European competitions after losing to Tottenham this week, Olympique de Marseille will try to redeem themselves during the Olimpico against Lyon on Sunday.
Having fallen very low after the defeat against Spurs, synonymous with total elimination from the European Cups for this season, the Marseille club can quickly move forward. Because from this weekend, Marseille have an important game of playing against OL in Ligue 1, the trajectory of the two clubs has been brutally reversed in the last few games. To redeem themselves in front of the public, who on Tuesday experienced all the emotions of the last day of the Champions League, Igor Tudor’s group will want to make a good result against Lyon, in a packed Stade Vélodrome. A game more than important, as Eric Di Meco explains, who warns everyone that the patience of the fans of theFROM it has probably reached its limits following the incredible streak in progress.
Vélodrome will be angry at Lyon
And to give the alarm before it’s too late is former Olympique de Marseille player Eric Di Meco who senses that the storm is brewing in the stands of Marseille. “ The Velodrome will be mobilized. After Tottenham, players took turns to greet the fans. There was disappointment, but there was no hatred. So Sunday, it will be madness again. Instead it is better that they win for them because otherwise it can become complicated (…) If it goes wrong, Payet could do as Lacazette and pull out the flamethrower “warned the consultant RMC, who thinks that a defeat at the Vélodrome against the enemy of Lyon, like last season (0-3), could do a lot of harm to the OM.
What will be the reaction of the Velodrome during the Olimpico on Sunday?

Lyon before Monaco, the difficult mission of the Tudors
Missteps are however prohibited in this Olympic. Given that after an excellent start to the season, Marseille are now fifth in L1, six points behind Lens, the current runner-up at PSG. Unable to win in the league since September, OM remain on three defeats in four L1 games. To erase the European disappointment and put an end to the current negative spiral, the Phocians will try to beat their rivals Lyon. A Sunday shock that could overturn the OM season for better or for worse, given that Marseille aim to spend the winter break on the podium. Apart from that, OM will have to take points against OL and Monaco. Not an easy mission for Igor Tudor, who could find himself on an ejection seat in case of further poor performance before the World Cup.
