Troyes v Marseille: Probable line-ups for Ligue 1 meeting

Troyes host Olympique de Marseille at the Stade de l’Aube on Sunday, 11 October 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 18:45 GMT in the sixth round of Ligue 1. Both sides are expected to make tactical use of established systems, with Troyes likely to select a 4-2-3-1 and Marseille a conventional 4-4-2.

Troyes expected line-up

Troyes are set to retain their usual 4-2-3-1 formation. The system is built around a solid defensive base, with two holding midfielders positioned to protect the centre of the pitch.

It also gives the three attacking players behind the striker freedom to move forward. Against Marseille, the arrangement is intended to add numbers in midfield before allowing Troyes to attack quickly during transitions.

Beach is expected to start in goal.

The likely back four is made up of Noah Donkor, Monfray, Junior Diaz and Anis Ouzenadji.

Mouhamed Diop and Karim Dermane are likely to operate as the deeper midfield pairing, with Mile, Iron Gomis and Timothe Nkada forming the line behind the striker.

Le Douaron is expected to lead the attack.

Troyes probable XI: Beach; Noah Donkor, Monfray, Junior Diaz, Anis Ouzenadji; Mouhamed Diop, Karim Dermane; Mile, Iron Gomis, Timothe Nkada; Le Douaron.

Marseille expected line-up

Marseille are expected to use a 4-4-2, a shape designed to provide a compact midfield through two organised lines of four.

The formation also places two forwards together against the Troyes defence, giving Marseille a direct attacking partnership in the final third.

De Lange is the likely goalkeeper.

Kelyann Bezahaf, Egan-Riley, Nayef Aguerd and Emerson are expected to form the defensive line.

Amine Harit, Tochukwu Nnadi, Himad Abdelli and Paixao are the probable midfield quartet.

Maupay and Faris Moumbagna are in line to start as the two attackers.
