Bruno Genesio made five changes to the side that beat ESTAC Troyes when they faced Olympiacos in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday. Many of those who came in were second-string options and academy products.
The Olympique de Marseille side that will face SCO Angers on Sunday afternoon will be what is largely recognised as the strongest XI. The likes of Neal Maupay, Keyliane Abdallah, and Bamo Meité are expected to return to the bench. CJ Egan-Riley is expected to retake his place in the line-up, as are Amine Harit and Amine Gouiri. The latter is expected to lead the line.
Angel Gomes’ performances this season have been criticised but he is expected to continue in his No.10 role against Le Sco.
