Marseille confident to keep its second place in Ligue 1

Three days from the end of the League 1 championship, the fight for second place intensified. Among the observers, Ludovic Obraniak posted his confidence in the Olympique de Marseille to maintain his position as a dolphin. On the stage of L’Équipe du soir, last Monday, the former international delivered a favorable analysis to the team led by Roberto De Zerbi. According to him, the signals sent by the Phocéan club this season pleaded for a second place position in the standings. “We’re three days away from the end and Marseilles is the team that stayed the longest in second place this season. Even when it flickers, it still manages to find the resources and it keeps this second place,” said The Team consultant.

If OM shows a certain regularity, its calendar remains complicated. The planned trip to Lille this weekend, currently running for Europe, could have a decisive impact on the end of the season. Obraniak didn’t show up: “It’s for sure, the shock against the Lille will be titanic, but I see the Marseilles going to pick up this place of dolphin, simply because they earned it on the season. »

With three meetings still to be played, each point will count for the Marseilles. While on the LOSC lawn, they will have to face an undefeated team at home for several months. The result of this match could strongly influence the final hierarchy. Pending this appointment, OM remains solid in the standings, and the confidence of some observers, such as Ludovic Obraniak, reinforces the idea of a positive balance for De Zerbi’s first season on the Marseille bench. The future will tell whether this consistency will be enough to secure the direct qualification for the Champions League.
