L’Olympique de Marseille prepares to face Paris Saint-Germain in an expected Classic, but this preparation is tinted with complexities. The news of Nayef Aguerd’s availability, which came back from a concussion, is an asset for the Marseille defence, while the absence of Geoffrey Kondogbia, injured in the calf, represents a hard blow for the balance of the midfield. Despite this loss, coach Roberto De Zerbi will have to reorganize his midfield to compensate for this lack. Beyond team composition, OM focuses on its reconstruction through a cohesion workshop in Rome, aimed at strengthening the group’s automation before a dense season.

Sunday night’s game is a major sporting and cultural event with extensive media coverage. DAZN offers a special offer to track the entire League 1 and DAZN content for a limited period of time. The offer is particularly attractive for Marseille fans wishing not to miss anything of this Classic. The Paris Saint-Germain insists on the historical importance of this rivalry and the excitement of his coach, Luis Enrique, in the face of this type of confrontation.

The organisation of the match is also facing important challenges. Weather forecasts announcing a stormy weather have led the Professional Football League to consider a postponement, although the regional prefecture has for the time being maintained the meeting while reserving the possibility to intervene in case of worsening conditions. In addition, enhanced security measures are being put in place in response to recent incidents in stadiums, including the requirement to present identification for entry. OM has put in place an alternative solution for its subscribers to facilitate access to the stadium, while calling for vigilance against unauthorized e-ticket dealers.
