No room for hesitation, nor for doubts. Sunday evening, after Marseille’s victory against Montpellier (2-0), Mattéo Guendouzi obviously had to answer a question that is probably already in all Marseilles’ heads: what to expect from this OM, which remains on seven consecutive victories, next Sunday at the Parc des Princes?
“We have a match to play on Thursday which will be very difficult in Greece, first wanted to recall Guendouzi, trained in his young years in Paris, at the microphone of Prime Video, three days after the narrow victory of his team against Salonika in Velodrome (2-1). Then we will go to the Park for the Clasico. It’s an important match for us, because we are on a good dynamic and we don’t want to stop there. First we will focus on Thursday, recover, and we will be ready on Sunday. »
In the best of dynamics before Paris
Thanks to its victory against Montpellier, Marseille will approach this Classic in the best possible mood: OM have seven wins in a row in all competitions, including four in Ligue 1, and this Sunday recovered second place at Stade Rennais, which temporarily seized it on Saturday.
If the sequence of matches could serve OM, the men of Jorge Sampaoli are in the best dynamic before finding their best enemy, whom they had almost beaten last October during the first leg, at the Vélodrome (0-0 ). OM were already second in Ligue 1, just behind PSG. With a 12-point lead, the club from the capital knows that it has little to fear from this match in accounting terms. But a Clasico between the first two in Ligue 1, it can’t hurt the dramaturgy.
