The context of OM – Brest
Candidate for the Champions League, Olympique de Marseille receives Stade Brestois on the occasion of the 37th day of Ligue 1. Third in the standings with 73 points, the Bouches-du-Rhône club is relegated five lengths from Racing Club de Lens and must imperatively impose itself to keep the hope of obtaining a direct qualification in C1, even if the players of Igor Tudor are no longer masters of their destiny. Dimitri Payet’s partners must bounce back after a defeat on Lille (1-2), after opening the scoring thanks to Jonathan Clauss. The Phocaeans challenge a fourteenth Breton team with 41 units, and eight points more than the first relegated Nantes. Maintained in the elite, the SB29 of Eric Roy will play without pressure and intends to continue after a success at home against Clermont (2-1).
The probable compositions of OM – Brest
Olympique de Marseille will have to do without the services of Samuel Gigot. The defender is not recovered from a blow received in the face against Lille. Another unavailability, that of Dimitri Payet. The attacking midfielder is serving a suspension. On the other hand, Nuno Tavares signs his return after his absence against LOSC. In the ranks of Stade Brestois, Noah Fadiga and Loïc Rémy are absent.
