As of Friday evening, Olympique de Marseille are expected to keep Jonathan Rowe and Neal Maupay at the start of their game against AJ Auxerre. Maupay scored and demonstrated his importance to the team during the 2-1 victory over FC Nantes last week.
Even though Elye Wahis has been struggling recently, Maupay is expected to lead the line once again. Although manager Roberto De Zerbi has confirmed that Wahi remains the main man, the squad hierarchy remains the same. Rowe's performance against Les Canaris has also earned him a place in the starting XI, likely over Luis Henrique.
As Derek Cornelius was stretchered off in the previous game, Lilian Brassier will move into a more familiar position at centre-back, while Quentin Merlin is set to take his place at left-back.
Olympique de Marseille is expected to field the following players: Geronimo Rulli; Quentin Merlin, Lilian Brassier, Leonardo Balerdi, Michael Murillo; Ismael Kon, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Adrien Rabiot; Jonathan Rowe, Neal Maupay, Mason Greenwood.
