With five consecutive defeats, Marseille faces a crucial match against Rennes on the 12th day of Ligue 1. The Marseille club, currently in a poor run of form, must secure a positive result to avoid falling into a deep crisis. Despite their recent struggles, Marseille has not lost at the Stade de la Route de Lorient in the last five matches.
Following the defeat against Reims last weekend (2-3), Marseille coach Elie Baup, under pressure due to the club’s poor results, is tasked with finding solutions. For the trip to Brittany, Baup has chosen to start Jordan Ayew at the forefront of the attack, opting for the Ghanaian over Saber Khalifa, who will be on the bench.
The midfield will be managed by Romao and Imbula, both tasked with regaining control in the middle of the park. Imbula returns to the starting lineup after being rested for a few matches. Abdallah and Morel will play as full-backs in the defense.
The match against Rennes presents a crucial opportunity for Marseille to reverse their fortunes and start climbing up the Ligue 1 standings.
