Marseille receives Frankfurt this Tuesday (9 p.m.) for its second Champions League match. OM must impose themselves to revive after their defeat against Tottenham last week. Sanchez will make his C1 debut with OMOlympique de Marseille must already bounce back. A week after its defeat against Tottenham (0-2), the Marseille club will try to revive at home against Eintracht Frankfurt, this Tuesday (9 p.m.), during the second day of the Champions League. Still undefeated in the league ( 6 wins and 1 draw), the Marseillais are moving towards this meeting with confidence. Weighed down by the expulsion of Chancel Mbemba at the start of the second period, after 45 first minutes of great quality, the Olympians put up arguments against Spurs to approach this second C1 match with ambition against an opponent who seems within their reach.Frankfurt poor form Winner of the Europa League last season, the German club is having a difficult start to the season. He started his C1 campaign with a heavy home defeat against Sporting Portugal (0-3). It’s hardly better in the league, where Oliver Glasner’s team remains on a defeat against Wolfsburg (0-1) and occupies 11th place in the standings, with only two victories obtained in six days. Frankfurt is a strong team. “We can’t base ourselves just on their last defeats,” however warned Igor Tudor at a press conference. His midfielder Matto Guendouzi also wants to be cautious: We’re going to play against a very offensive formation, which likes to keep the ball and attack, and which is probably sometimes in more difficulty defensively than Tottenham. The level of intensity, the technical level will be very high. A defense review For this second European meeting of the season, Tudor will therefore be deprived of the experienced Mbemba. The suspension of the central defender will force the Marseille coach to review his defense. He should thus align Eric Bailly, Sead Kolasinac and Leonardo Balerdi. The latter, released after 28 minutes against Lille (2-1), did not reassure Saturday but the uncertainty around the physical condition of Samuel Gigot should give him a chance to redeem himself. For the rest, the pistons Jonathan Clauss and Nuno Tavares are expected in the corridors, the pair Valentin Rongier – Jordan Veretout should start in midfield. In attack, Alexis Sanchez will make his C1 debut with OM after serving his suspension last week. To accompany the Chilean, Dimitri Payet will be the starter and Gerson could be preferred Matto Guendouzi, Cengiz nder and Amine Harit. Opposite, the followers of the French championship will find familiar faces in the Eintracht camp, starting with goalkeeper Kevin Trapp, former Paris Saint-Germain player. We should also see the tenure of midfielder Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe, on loan from PSG, and striker Randal Kolo Muani, who left Nantes this summer. Probable teams: Marseille: Lopez – Balerdi, Bailly, Kolasinac – Clauss, Veretout , Rongier, Tavares – Gerson, Payet – Sanchez. Frankfurt: Trapp – Tuta, Hasebe, Ndicka – Knauff, Dina Ebimbe, Sow, Alidou – Gtze, Kamada – Kolo Muani. What is your prediction for this match?
