The squad defending Alexis Sánchez will switch venues to Stade Gabriel Montpied, hoping to rebound after a setback against Nice and to celebrate a return to happier times with supporters.
Olympic Marseille travels to Clermont this Saturday with a clear goal: reclaim momentum and keep eyes on Paris Saint Germain, the undisputed leader of Ligue 1.
In a surprising turn, Igor Tudor’s team suffered a 1-3 defeat to Nice, snapping a long stretch of six wins and two draws, and losing an opportunity to close the gap at the top. Still, confidence is rising after reaching the French Cup quarterfinals with a standout display from Alexis Sánchez, who outshined Lionel Messi and helped the visitors claim a 2-1 win at Le Classique on home soil.
The hosts, Clermont, also seek a victory after a 0-2 loss to AS Monaco left them midtable and thirsting for points to push higher in the standings.
Historically, these clubs have met four times, with Marseille claiming three wins in the head-to-head. The most recent encounter occurred on August 31, a 1-0 win for the visitors thanks to a late strike by Pape Gueye. In that game, Alexis Sánchez hit the post with a late penalty that could have changed the outcome.
Alexis Sánchez’s contributions for Marseille are a central talking point for the team this season, as he has been involved in many of the Phocaeans’ goals and moments of danger.
