Match Preview
To secure a spot in the group stage of the Champions League this season, Marseille finished the season 15 points behind the champion Paris Saint-Germain and two points ahead of third-place Monaco.
Marseille has now come in second in 2 of the last 3 Ligue 1 seasons, including last season.
Pau Lopez, Jordan Veretout, Matteo Guendouzi, Cengiz Under, Alexis Sanchez, Jonathan Clauss, and Nuno Tavares were just a few of the players who joined Igor Tudor’s team during the summer transfer window. It will be interesting to see how the players gel this season.
Marseille began their Ligue 1 campaign in 2022–23 with a dominant 4–1 win over Reims on August 7. However, their previous match ended in a 1–1 tie with Brest.
They now occupy third place in the standings with four points, trailing PSG and Lens, the only other teams in France’s premier division to have won their first two games. Last season, Les Phoceens defeated Nantes 2-0 in the league, including 3-2 at home. They haven’t suffered a loss to this weekend’s opponents in France’s top division since February 2020.
Clermont suffered a disastrous start to the new campaign on the first day when they were dismantled by Paris Saint-Germain, losing 5-0 to kick things off.
Things worsened when they were down two goals in the second half of their game against bottom-of-the-league Reims, but that is when the team came into its own.
Despite their precarious position, Clermont rallied in the second half to win 4-2 thanks to goals from Muhammed Saracevic, Jeremie Bela, and a brace from Komnen Andric.
The supporter base will be hoping to repeat that 45-minute performance this weekend, but the defensive issues from the previous season have also carried over to the current one. The team will be eager to avoid the circumstance in which Clermont just averted relegation during the 2021–22 season, and getting points early can help with that.
Marseille vs Clermont Team News
- Marseille
Marseille is in a good position going into the match on Saturday. However, the host team will again be without goalkeeper Pau Lopez due to a groin issue.
The team that started last time against Brest is set to undergo adjustments under head coach Tudor, with new acquisition Alexis Sanchez perhaps starting from the beginning.
While Arkadiusz Milik is likely to play in the starting lineup with Dimitri Payet, the striker’s future at the club is questionable, given recent rumors that he may leave.
- Clermont
Due to the calf injury Grejohn Kyei is anticipated to have and Mehdi Zeffane’s hamstring issue, Clermont’s choices are limited.
After allowing seven goals in two games, the defense will undoubtedly be the focus of this game, and adjustments may be made to counter that.
