Marshall Munetsi | This attacking midfielder was Reims' second top scorer last season with five goals, one more than Wout Faes.

 

Dimitri Payet | This French midfielder is one of Olympique de Marseille's strikers to watch and, given the offense's poor run last season, Payet will have to add to the attack with goals and assists as he did in the previous championship where he registered 12 goals in 31 games, in addition to 10 assists.

 

Rajkovic, Faes, Konan, Abdelhamid, Gravillon, Mbuku, Van Bergen, Matusiwa, Lopy, Locko, Foket.

Blanco, Gigot, Balerdi, Mbemba, Clauss, Kolasinac, Rongier, Guendouzi, Gerson, Payet, Suarez.

The central referee for this Marseille vs Reims match will be Jérôme Brisard; Alexandre Viala, first line; Alexis Auger, second line; Azzédine Soufi, fourth assistant.

On the other hand, Reims, another historical club in French soccer, has lost its prominence in the local league and could not even qualify for the Europa League. The team coached by Oscar Garcia finished last season with 14 defeats, occupying twelfth place with 46 points. In pre-season, Reims have fared better than Marseille, winning three times, drawing once and losing twice. In their most recent meeting, the French team drew 2-2 against Sassuolo of Italy.

The Olympique squad led by Igor Tudor, who arrived to replace Jorge Sampaoli, closed last season as runner-up in Ligue 1, only behind PSG who were crowned with a 15-point difference. The second place gave Olympique de Marseille a place in the Champions League this season, so they will have to start well in the championship. In the preseason, Marseille had five matches where they could only beat Marignane Gignac. In their most recent friendly match, Marseille were defeated by the current Italian champions, Milan, by a score of 2-0.

The match Marseille vs Reims will be played at the Stade Velodrome, in Marseille, France. Kickoff is scheduled for 14:45 hrs (CDMX).
