Marseille predicted XI v Lille: Neal Maupay to retain his spot, Jonathan Rowe on the bench | OneFootball

Neal Maupay is once again set to retain his place in the Olympique de Marseille starting XI as they take on Lille OSC at the Vélodrome on Saturday.

The former Everton and Brentford forward has displaced Elye Wahi and taken the No.9 jersey for Marseille, and he is expected to retain it against Lille. Another player somewhat out of favour recently, since the switch to a back three in defence, is Jonathan Rowe, and he is once again expected to start from the bench.

Lilian Brassier has also lost his place, as has Derek Cornelius with Geoffrey Kondogbia and Michael Murillo both expected to start alongside captain Leonardo Balerdi for Les Phocéens. Adrien Rabiot and Mason Greenwood are set to occupy the advanced positions closer to Maupay.
