Weah ready for a decisive clash
Timothy Weah is set to start in a must-win match for Marseille in the race for a Champions League spot
As former Olympique de Marseille coach Roberto De Zerbi prepares for his first high-pressure game in charge of Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League, the current manager of the French giants is counting down the hours to an equally crucial showdown in Ligue 1, live this Friday on beIN SPORTS.
A difficult start for Beye
Habib Beye will be on the sidelines against FC Metz at the Stade Vélodrome, after recording the worst start for a Marseille coach since 2005, losing three of his first seven matches in charge. Two of those defeats came most recently—and were the most damaging—as they fell back-to-back against LOSC Lille and AS Monaco, direct rivals in the battle for what could be the final Champions League qualification spot.
A must-win opportunity
Marseille currently sit third in Ligue 1, just one point behind Lille. However, they now have a golden opportunity to avoid a third straight league defeat by hosting a Metz side at the Vélodrome that sits bottom of the table with just three wins in 28 matches this season.
Key returns in attack
US international Timothy Weah is expected to start once again for Marseille, while key striker Mason Greenwood returns to lead the line after serving his suspension in the loss against Monaco.
A fresh boost for the season run-in
Marseille fans will be hoping that the club’s newly unveiled crest this week can spark a fresh start as the team pushes through the final stretch of the Ligue 1 season and the race for Champions League qualification.
