The upcoming French championship match this weekend will center around the “Olympic shock.” As the 36th day of Ligue 1 draws to a close, Olympique de Marseille is set to host Olympique Lyonnais this Sunday. For the Lyonnais, clinching fourth place is their sole focus, a mission that hinges on a favorable outcome at the Vélodrome stadium. This pivotal “Olympico” could potentially dash Marseille’s remaining aspirations for success in the league.
With the Europa League looming just two days away from this high-stakes encounter, Henri Bedimo reflected on the impending journey to Marseille. “There’s no need for intricate calculations. Our primary objective is securing fourth place,” remarked the Cameroonian left-back. “A trip to Marseille is always a daunting task,” he added. “Moreover, Marseille finds themselves in a precarious position at home. While we approach the match with confidence, we remain cautious, as facing an injured team is never ideal.”
