Ligue 1 2025-2026: Olympique Marseille-Brest, the probable formations
A few days after the match against Atalanta in the Champions League, lost in the final with Samardzic’s goal, hardly contested by coach De Zerbi, Olympique Marseille aims to regain the smile in the league, where it faces Brest at home with the specific objective of winning to maintain contact with PSG in the lead after eleven days of Ligue 1.
.
The Italian coach of OM will not be able to count on the disqualified Ulisses Garcia and the injured Balerdi, Gouiri, Medina, Nadir and Traoré. In attack, alongside Aubameyang, there will be Vaz while Greenwood will play as a trequartista in front of the midfield formed by Murillo, Hojbjerg, O’Riley and Paixao. Three-man defense with former Inter player Pavard, Egan-Riley and the Italian-Brazilian Emerson Palmieri.
On the other side there’s a very different Brest from the one that in the past two years had first won a place in the Champione League and then made it through the League Phase. The standings now see the Pirates in thirteenth place, with ten points from eleven games played. The’only absentee will be Kamory Doumbia, who is injured.
Technician Eric Roy will focus on a midfield with two midfielders, Chotard and Tousart, while up front the offensive terminal will be Ajorque, to look for a goal that Brest has not found in the last three games.
